I am looking for a house to buy and I found one which is reasonably good condition and ready to move on.
There is no central heating in the house and the shower is on a small electric as well. each room has a electric heater (guess they are storage heaters) and fitted in the wall which has temp controls and etc.
as i read through the other forum topics the GCH seems to be save lots of money on bills. so at some point this needs to be changed and I guess it will cost around 4K-5K.
Is it worth to buy a house without GCH and then do it by our self. my friend told me that when we install the GCH we may also need to repaint and do some touch work after the installation as they need to lay the pipes all the way.
my other friend told as only 2 people moving to the house we may also just use the electric heater as it will work only in one room and it will still save some money over GCH.
i need some advice on this
