Water filled electric radiators

tessie51

Hi ,

we are thinking of moving into a new rented home that has no heating except a real fire,. We have heard about these new water filled electric radiators which are supposed to be very easy to use and cost efficeint. Has anyone had any experience of these or knows someone who has? Are they better than the oil filled heaters you can buy?

They won't be any more efficient than any other form of electric heating, apart from an air source heat pump, and standard electric heating is generally expensive to run.

Will the landlord not consider installing a decent heating system prior to renting?

I second that, those radiators, despite all their claims. produce exactly the same heat as a £20 oil filled radiator or £10 fan heater - and there is no more expensive way of heating.
