Will they be more expensive than using a gas boiler if the price of gas goes up again?As electric heaters eat the kW like nobody’s business…?

Really depends what you use.
We have an adjustable one that's 1 2 or 3kw heater ..
Set it to 1 KW and it really heats our daughters room if we not using the heating that day
That's what I'm investigating.... My (electric) plan seems to be £0.29 per kWh with the energy company. So buying a 1kwh halogen heater can be easily monitored.
My gas plan is something around the £0.07 kWh range, but then you're heating the whole house so I don't know what the equivalent cost would equate to.
unfortunately this topic cannot be discussed in its full capacity as to how we got here in the first place because of political decisions made. successive powers that be put all our eggs into one basket re energy being solely supplied by overseas power because it is the cheapest option. We are now were we. I have a feeling that we in the golfing fraternity will manage. My thoughts go to the less wealthy and elderly who will really struggle![]()
Has anyone got a wood burning stove? We're looking at redesigning the living room and we fancy installing one in place of the electric fire we never use.

We 've got one,pretty much all downstairs once it gets going
We haven't but I know a few that have. As others above have mentioned, once going they will heat the whole downstairs and some up, depending on your layout. All from one little fire. With all of the trees that came down from Arwen, there is no shortage of available wood up here either. Pretty much free fuel if you are prepared to make friends with a greenkeeper and get a bit dirty.Has anyone got a wood burning stove?

The 60 fir trees that arwen brought should minimise the heating bill for our house for the next 2 or 3 years. Im about halfway through splitting it. Tedious to say the least. Need to replant the wind breaks and add a couple of hedges this winter. Won't be fir trees either.We haven't but I know a few that have.

We should have done it a few years ago, we may be joining you in getting one in.
Yes and no. Don’t bother with just a wood burner. Get a multi fuel burner nigh on exactly the same and the same price Multi fuel will burn coal as well. ?Has anyone got a wood burning stove?

Wood burns ok but it is not as warm as coal and the coal lasts a lot longer. If you ever down here Al slip a few free bags in the boot to try ?
PS don’t buy a Chinese stove. Something decent like a
Charnwood. ?
Give us a shout and al fill yer boot.?Funnily enough I’m working near Clipstone tomorrow ???
