Can I switch from coal central heating to electric central heating easily?
Sep 25, 2008 by i_m_laura | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I have moved into a piddling village where gas is not available. My older home is frantic by a coal (anthracite) fueled stove in the fireplace that heats the undiminished home by central heated radiators. Although everything works high-grade, it is just too messy and is ruining my carpets and I don't like the fetidness either. Can the same central heating system that I have now be easily converted with an electric fireplace or is there a lot more to it than that?
I have converted many systems like yours, you prerequisite an oil tank and an oil fired central heating boiler. These boilers are different from the old types that were smelly and not efficient, Modern condensing ones are 90 + % operative, and the good news is that they join into your existing system, so no capsize to the rest of the house.
If you require more information email me.

Don't even make allowance for electric heating, it's like inviting a blackmailer into your welcoming comfortable with.
I have pulled out more electric heating than you have had hot dinners !

I am installing electric central heating in my home. Which is the cheapest method of heating?
May 29, 2008 by David C | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
I paucity details of one or two websites that offer impartial suggestion on which system to choose. Which is most economical? Which is cheapest? I've had conflicting opinion from professionals and I'm confused.
Certainly resistive electrical heating is the least costly to install, and the most expensive to operate.
A heat stress would be more expensive to install, but less expensive to operate. It can copy as the air conditioner in hot weather.
A ground source torridness pump would be even more expensive, but even less expensive to operate.
A solar system to augment the commercial power accumulation would be expensive to install, almost free of operating expenditure, and would reduce electric bills.

how does "wet" electric central heating compare to gas?

how much dearer is it to run in an regular 3 bed semi ,uk answers only please.
You may be not with it here?? A 'wet' system is one which has water circulating through pipes and radiators, or underfloor pipework. This pee is heated by a gas boiler or sometimes electricity/coal/wood/ solar/ fervidness pump etc. or a combination of two or more. You will probably wish or have to use gas, depending on your putting.
We pay av. £50.00 per month for all our heating and gas hob. (3 bedrooms)

What is best: gas or electric central heating or heat pump?
Mar 20, 2007 by Stef | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I combustible in Scotland and I think solar might be a bit of an issue.
The Most proven responsible and easy to fit system is a gas central heating system. Modern boilers are around 90% productive and most are very reliable. The system will last 15-25 years and will give good stir distribution providing it is installed properly. There are upgrades that can be added to give more control and other things such as mains pressure hot bedew dilute all at extra cost of course! For a standard 2 bed chambers expect £2500.

Yesterday morning the temperature was -10, and my heating was working hard to keep our house warm, but what about my neighbours? A lot of bedsits in our road, and adjoining ones don't have central heating, the residents relying on small electric haters
Portable heaters allow you to heat just the space you need, rather than the whole house, so they can work out cheaper than turning the central heating up if you tend to spend most of your time in a certain room. And with snow and plunging temperatures and more »
