Electric Heating for holiday let bungalow

chrisandchris

Hello.
We would appreciate some advice regarding the best way to heat a small holiday bungalow on an all electric site in Cornwall. It has a 52 week letting season with an average of 30 weeks letting a year.
The heating currently is:
Living area/kitchen: NSH and a electric wall fire. both 15 years old.
2 bedrooms: slim line panel heaters. (1 year old).
Bathroom: no heating.
We want to heat the bathroom and install the best economical system for short let holidays on a managed site.
Should we install nsh in bathroom and very small bedrooms with limited space?
Perhaps n.s. heaters at a fixed temperature plus one electric fire in living room would be suitable.
We expect the cleaning staff to turn off an electric fire but they are unlikely to control nsh when the property is empty.
Suggestions would be very welcome.
Thank you.
Chris and Chris.

A bit of a concern,
a 15 year old electric fire is very unefficient
i was thinking a modern combi electric boiler would
a suitable idea, however it is a bit costy.
an alternative would be a forced air system but
its uinsuitable to heat such a high humidity area
of the bathroom, but if that is a sumer house and you put a
nice amount of insulation heaters might not be required.

Seems a perfect situation for a simple Air Source Heat Pump.

well an airscourse heat pump wouldnt be a bad idea,
however it is expensive for a holiday bungalow.

Thank you for your replies 200 and Cardew. I will get a costing for an Air Source Heat Pump.
Hopefully it will be the most suitable for cost/benefit. We may be able to recoup the extra costs with more winter bookings and a small increase in letting charges.
