Whole house or the room(s) you are working in?
looking for the most cost effective way of keeping my house warm.
Targeted heating may be better for your daytime use.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -

Unless you have a damp problem then it's better to have it on low all day as the heat has to get through the damp.PennineAcute said:This has been discussed on here many times.
Experts say if is cheaper to put the heating on when you need it, rather than on all day.And a damp wall is a cold wall that just sucks the heat out. If you can warm the wall sufficiently to dry it out, less heat will be lost.With a cold damp wall, it is a breeding ground for mould which can damage your health and possibly the very fabric of the building.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
