Help needed! Electric vs Oil Central Heating
Comments
-
I have found a site that supplies the whole packge for electric radiators sales, support and installation. My problem is that I dont know too much about electric radiators i was refferred to that site by someone who swears by electric radiators. Are they worthwhile and do they save you money, I like the idea of them because they dont have any pipes and can be worked with a remote control.
They certainly don't save you any money.
There are lots of threads on this subject if you do a search.
All electrical heating* gives you exactly the same amount of heat for your money - be it these over-hyped electric radiators or your grandmothers 1/2/3/bar electric fire.
So a £30 oil filled radiator that you plug in to a 13 amp socket will give out as much heat for your money as any other electrical system - some costing £hundreds or even £thousands.
* except heat pumps0
