I have underfloor heating installed under a timber floor, however it is completely ineffective at heating my flat, and, is in essence, just not fit for purpose. I live in a chapel conversion so have a high vaulted ceiling. There is provision to install a storage heater on Economy 7.

I am not one of these people who requires their heating running at 21C (70F), or above. I'm quite happy with my comfies, fleece and a thick pair of socks with my feet up 'basking' in temperatures around 15-16C (60F).

My question is this, what is the cheapest, most efficient form of heater, I require? I'm not sure if a storage heater would be suitable for me, as the heat that's released the following day would be wasted, as I'm out!

If I can, I want to just stop the temperature from dropping below 15C through the Winter. I also have Kentia Palms which aren't happy for extended periods below this temperature.

Any advice, much appreciated.

Thank you.
