Electric Heater one room or GCH

MrsRogers

I have done a search but not been able to specifically find the advice I am looking for.

The house we have moved in to has a new GCH combi boiler system. All rooms have radiators (Again new).

In our lounge we have a replica type woodburning stove which is electric. (Has blow heaters).

Would it be more cost effective to put the GCH on or the electric heater of an evening. (We can close the lounge door to keep the heat).

I dont really want the hassle of turning all the radiators down and only having the lounge one on as we will be setting the GCH to come on in the mornings before work.

Which do you think would be more cost effective?

All advice much appreciated

I would like an answer to that as well.

The GCH timer.

If you don't want the heating on at all in the evening, then set the timer that way. Alternatively, hit the override button to switch it off for that evening alone.

The electric meter.

Take the before and after reading for one evening without the electric heater, and then take the same set with the heater on.
Alternatively, you can get an energy monitor.
