| I haver found a house I LOVE, but it is very old (renting BTW), and the tenants said the drawback was it was quite cold in winter. However, it has central heating. they reckon it is expensive, but am wondering how much? any ideas? rough estimation is fine - am using it to try and convince DH that the house would be okay, rather than as a budgeting thingy. i love LOVE this house and would LOVE it. so tell me it's cheap! |

What type of central heating? If it is electric underfloor forget it cos that is ridiculously expensive. -------------

| No idea. it is an older house and what i've read about underfloor is that it is usually done in new houses. i plan to ring the PM tomorrow and have a wee chat |

Liz we've got old style central heating in our house, with vents in the hallway and lounge, runs off gas and has an old fashioned thermostat does that sound similar to yours?
The igniter failed and the parts are obsolete, the electrician who came to have a look, said it wasn't worth fixing cause the cost of running is really high. As for the free insulation thing, one of the guys at DFs work managed to get it as his wife's not working and they have a child under 2. I think its based on the age of the house and personal circumstance. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |
