[QUOTE="Apache, post: 391217, member: 828"] We have a 3 bed house, stone built. Good loft insulation but draughty and no cavity walls to insulate. We spend £1,000 per year on electricity (night storage, all cooking and hot water). £200 coal, and probably £150 value of logs, but I've never had to buy any yet. Light the fire in winter evenings. The UK average gas and electricity cost is about £1,300 so we are sitting around that. (do run washing machine and dishwasher over night on cheap electricity). To give you a real life example. I don't find the house cold. I have costed putting in central heating and it simply wouldn't pay. There is an art to life with electric storage heaters, and you do need a supplemental heat source on cold evenings. [/QUOTE]
