Thanks for all the replies. We are RIGHT by the beach, and the House is listed, so the solar and air/ground routes arent going to be an option.

It already has an electric immersion heater for the water, and we plan on pulling the upstiars ceiling so we can install superquilt and re plasterboard. Same downstairs, with the external walls, so the opportunity to run radiators IS there. It is only a small two bedroom cottage with a living room and dinining room, that would require heating.

Kitchen and Bathroom will both get smaller radiators and electric underfloor heating.

So the 11Kw may JUST do the job.

Wasnt aware that the storage heaters required different consumer unit wiring. Do I need to contact my local electricity supplier to get something changed?

The CU is your responsibility-nothing to do with your supplier or DNO. A meter change (i.e from standard to E7) will be arranged via your supplier.

Speaking to the boss (the Mrs) the prospect of having to get the wood burner going any time you want heating, doesnt appeal. Lazt townies that we are, the Electric Boiler is looking appealing. The house already has an electric immersion heater for hot water.

Why not have both....light fire when you can be bothered.
