    £5? how long is a piece of string? how many grains of sand can I hold in my hand?

    Do you have economy 7 electricity?
    What size is the storage heater 2KW,3KW, 5KW?
    How much do you pay for a unit of electricity?

    running storage heaters on normal tariff is hideously expensive, I can tell you that.

    And running them in a conservatory is ten times worse than that.

    it will cost your unit kWh rate x the kWh rating of your storage heater.
    Same calculation as any other electrical device.
    So a 3.5kWh heater at 12p unit would cost 42p per hour, if running full on.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
