The heating costs are very interesting to read

With the cheapest radiators at £500 a pop (most expensive was 2 grand plus!!) I cant see how you'll get your money back in 5 years!

Also the grammar used on the site reminds me of Nigerian scams for some reason.

Interesting claim about storage heaters below-

The climate killers produce a literally harmful climate in your house, and they produce a lot of CO2 and greenhouse gases. The results are often discomfort and dry skin, as well as allergies, asthma, lung diseases. The uneven heat distribution can also foster mold growth, which is leading to cancer over the years.

Whilst the benefits of the new heaters are-

Publications from around the world confirm the positive health effects of infrared radiation, even as a therapeutic methode. Muscle tension, skin diseases and rheumatism can be alleviated. For years, it is medically proven that high flow rates ("draft") in space also affect the blood pressure and general condition. The health hazards of dust is now well known, and this is the first inhaled through the swirling. The air circulation in the infrared radiation heating is minimal and therefore is a very relieving indoor environment for children, allergy and asthma sufferers.

Both quotes are cut and paste from the site

To be honest you'd be better off replacing your light bulb with an infra red heating one, it will give the same effect for a tiny fraction of the cost; in that you'll feel warmer in a cold house or shed...the bits of you facing the scource will that is.

£600 - £1500 for an 800 watt heater, what a bargain!

I think the law needs tightening over these types of companies and their incorrect and misleading websites. There seems to be more and more of them

Although we live in a free country with freedom of speech, I think where sales sites simply make physically impossible claims just to sell to the unwary, then action against them should be swift and severe. No one should be free to rip people off.

It mentions their heaters are 'green' (no surprises there then) and that storage heaters aren't. So I expect they'll sell loads of them, and plenty of people will be along singing their praises any time now.

Oh gosh! Who would buy from such a website? Appalling spelling & grammar throughout and no apparent concept of basic school boy physics!

If anyone is thinking of purchasing from them - think again!

"Appalling spelling"

. . . they can't even get there own address right,
19 Carrallac Terrace, should be 19 Carrallack Terrace!

Even google couldn't find it . . .:rotfl:

Although there is some truth in the system claims under certain circumstances, the savings are quite minimal.
At the cost of installation, I doubt if you will ever break even, let alone save money.
These things have been around for decades, and if it was that spectacular, it would have been mainstream by now.
