[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 508256, member: 6969"] These "Haverland" heaters are just posh looking electric panel heaters. They will be using electricity at whatever rate it is at the time of use. Most of the time that will be at the peak daytime rate, which is expensive. There has been a growing trend of replacing "old fashioned" storage heaters with these posh looking electric radiators. Yes they look nicer and are more controlable than a storage heater, but by fitting these you lose the one advantage of storage heaters, that is with those most of your heating needs are covered by the cheap off peak electricity rate. In the long term I would seriously look for an alternative heating system for your house, as what you presently have is just about the most expensive way to heat it, as you are finding out. [/QUOTE]
