Are my calculations correct? I'm better off with a small heater to use as and when?

    Sorry typo yes you're right. So it's no contest really. Shame the heat from storage heaters has pretty much depleted by evening time 😩
    Is it practical to put a blanket or similar over the storage heater first thing in the morning, so it loses heat more slowly, leaving some for the evening when you remove it?
    It's never recommended to put anything inflammable over a storage heater. Use the internal damper to reduce the output as necessary.
    If on min output the heat has depleted by the evening then the issue is that the NSH is undersized.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Just shred some of the old asbestos toilet seats and put them in a sack.
