Has anyone installed electric heating such as Fischer?

if you did and don’t mind sharing, how big is your house and how much did it cost? We’ve had a £9k estimate to upgrade our oil heating which we can’t afford. Wondering if electric might be cheaper. It seems to have come a long way since storage heating.

We are off grid so gas is not an option.

Bumping as I was also looking into this.

Hi OP, I set this 'to watch' as I want replace my storage heaters. Disappointed that you didn't get any replies. I have definitely read posts on here re the new electric panel heaters/not storage but storage heaters. Maybe worth a search? Good luck. Very annoying to be so limited in our potential choices.

We have been pondering electric heating and as well as the traditional types we find the infrared type an interesting and appealing concept. I heard about them on this podcast if you are interested.

I had them out for 1 heater in 1 room, they quoted over £2k, I laughed them out of the house and got a sparky to fit an electric wall hung heater instead.

I’ve used Fischer and really rate their heaters but didn’t piece meal as replacing storage heaters - about the r same price like for like c£1k pe heater but MUCH more efficient. Just be mindful that they use sub contractors for the installation and all bar one installed them incorrectly on the economy 7/10 so it was using electric at twice the cost.

Thank you. I did a quick search for some old posts in the subject. There are a few there to read.
