I think the tenant may have accidentally knocked the tap which opens the pressure up, as this is on a hose under the worksurface in the kitchen. I haven't touched it because i don't want to make it…

Electric panel heaters if you have to!
Hi All, I thought I'd post an update on electric heating, after two attempts to get planning for a heat pump, I gave up. I have no gas! Storage heaters aren't much good for me, I'm out all day, so it had to be direct/instant electric - the worst for cost possible!!!!! I kept the E7 tariff, Scottish power off an E7 with…

Most economic way to run central heating
Having got a new heating system installed with a fancy timer I am wondering is it more cost efficient to have the heating on all day and turn it down when out or have it off and have it come on just before we get in? Thanks.
