The running costs of those heaters exceed the cost of electricity. It's not worth it.

If you do use 5 x 3KW heaters, or 7 x 2 KW heaters, then don't forget to contact your bank to arrange an extension to your mortgage ready for when your electricity bill arrives!

Assuming your electricity is 13p/unit, and you need heating for 8 hours a day, then your electricity bill would be about £1300 to £1400 per quarter.

Indeed - the OP would be better off getting gas CH installed straight away...
