How much is a domestic thermal store?
I recently asked my friend to come over and help me clean my solar panels. When we were done, she suggested that maybe I should buy a thermal store from this supplier so I can combine it with my solar panels and have a more efficient heating source. I looked them up (since I don’t really know what they are!) and they…

Electric Heating!?
In the next 12-18 months I will be moving to Anglesey where only around 25% of homes are on mains gas supply.
