Hello All,
Not been on for a while, but we've been busy buying a house (settle tomorrow), getting a new job (started May) and well, doing all the things that go with those two considerable tasks.
Anyway - we're looking at heating options for the house we've bought -it's a 1970's cedar clad thing with 3 beds up and two more down. It already has DVS - which we're going to get upgraded as it looks quite old, definitely looking at getting the insulation upgraded above and below and getting a heatpump fitted in the main room (I understand we should qualify for some rebate on those last 3?).
Has anyone here fitted those econo-heat panel heaters in there home, and what do you think of them? I've read mixed reports stating they need to be on all day and night just to heat a small bedroom, and that this affects the cost of them considerably. lso that as they're 400w units, they only emit about the same heat as a large plasma TV. These are solutions we're thinking about for the bedrooms upstairs, so we don't need them on all day and night, we want something to take the chill off in winter before the kids go to bed, and then gives a little burst during the night to keep the temp from dropping too dramatically. In the rental we're leaving, it's been down to 11 degrees in my 2 year olds room, and that's pretty chilly for a wee boy!
Any comments kind people?
Cheers
