[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 513886, member: 28452"] You are obviously already aware of the extortionate price of electric power. The running cost will depend very much on the design of your house and particularly the insulation and, (in my opinion) whether you like to open windows for fresh air. I had electric heating about forty years ago, when it wasn't so pricey and even then it couldn't compare with the alternatives on either performance or cost. The heater units may have improved but not that much. Most of the, "improvements", I've seen to amount to limiting the heat output with complex controls. If I couldn't get mains gas my alternatives would be LPG or oil, in that order. [/QUOTE]
