We have a flat in a block with no gas at all. So electric is our only heating option. It has huge old dimplex storage heaters just now. I guess they would be fine if we were in the flat all the time, but we only use it 4 days a week. So it's hard to use them properly, they take so long to heat up. We either leave the heating on for 3 days when we're not there, or wait hours for it to heat up on the day we arrive.
We got a quote from dimplex to upgrade to more modern radiators with a timer function but they were quoting us £4,500 for 4 radiators.
We've requested a survey from Fischer /Fisher I can't remember how you spell it, but we've been waiting nearly 3 months now.
We bought a small oil filled radiator for the kitchen because the storage heater in there is really inefficient and were planning to put it on a timer so it was warmer in the morning but the timer instructions say it can't be used with a radiator.
We bought the flat in the summer and it's actually very warm, it has loads of windows and soaks up the heat all day long, but wintertime has been a shock. We have thick curtains, rugs, blankets etc so we're trying.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
