I installed a simple thermostat in the supply to each heater. This regulated how much charge they took each night and was very effective. The temperature the following day was spot on.

If it was a warm day/night, the room temperature was higher so this kept the charging off and vice versa.



We had no such option, it was a council flat. It would have been impossible to set the heating to suit my shift patterns and I really wished we'd had some form of instant heat system like we have here. Fortunately we were only in the flat for 2 years.

Ahh, we had a young baby then so were in all day and up all night.

One heater was large with a flat top. I could put an airing rack on top to dry the nappies.

Handy, ours were the slim-line version. Might not have been too bad if only I hadn't been working such unsociable hours. No two days the same, just like our weather. No nappies for us at that time anyway, our youngest was 8.

Electric, have you seen the business rates commonly applied to static sites (typically £0.5 per kW/Hr) , let alone limited power to each pitch where many are limited to 16A or less.

Also, the installation costs and fire risk of Lithium battery stores (for solar) on increased insurance costs - see EV car insurance ramp up for background.

Erm, I'll stick with a combo of LPG (boiler is 24kW) for central heating, (for simplicity sake 1:1 gas to elec heat output) that would cost £12 per hour!!!
