Heating advice

Hello All, need some advice, as winter is near soon. I wanted to know if i would save some money if I bought a oil heater electric for my living room as its quite cold.

The reason being I have a quite old boiler 1991. I dont have the money to replace this yet, but wanted to use the electric oil heater for the living room, instead of turning the whole heating on all the time. Last year got a very large bill on gas. My house is a 5 bedroom. Which has cavity insulated and insulated in the loft.

Any advice would be great

Yes they installed in all the rooms, we turned them off, just the heating in the living room is not to powerful. The house is quite big. we got a bit of like £700 for 3 months. Gas and elec, and it wasnt on all the time few hrs a day.

Not on benefits, Just its hard to save up as i recently bought this house about 2 years. Just thinking ways to get the bills down. We were advised to get one of these, obviously the central heating will be turned on some points, just to have this on in the living room to heat it up. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=418450047&pf_rd_i=468294

Thought about these, but don't they cause allot of condensation?

Yes it might need flushing, the living room is the worst the other rooms are fine. we have bled the heater in there, but it still does not get that hot.
