Hi i posted this over on money saving old style thread about preparing for winter, but have has no help, so i thought it might get a better response here, and help greatly appreciated.
Both me and my husband are really warm types of people and as yet arn't feeling the cold, we still have out 4 tog summer duvet on and usualy dont put our 9 tog one on till oct/nov, and luckliy we live in a mid terrace thats a really warm house.
But I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 12 week old baby so am concerned about them being warm. so i wanted some advice on heating. Im considering putting the heating on and just turning off all the radiators in the house apart from their bedrooms,
or i thought about buying a couple of the small 500w oil filled radiators that you plug in for their bedrooms.
dose anyon know which would be the cheaper option? or if not where i can work it out?
although we dont really need the heating on at the mo, i think my little boy needs a bit more heat in his bedroom soon.(baby still in with us at the mo)

Loads and loads of threads on this in this section.
Your option of putting on the CH and switching off, or setting low, all the radiators is the cheapest option(assuming you have Gas CH)
Electrical heating is still the most expensive form of heating available, and all forms of electrical heating give out the same amount of heat for your ££££s. i.e. There is no difference in running costs.0 -
Hi thanks,
i though so, and will also save me the £60 by not buying the eaters.Grocery Challenge Feb 14 £500 / Spent £572.10!
