No idea, looks outrageously overkill lol. I went for this, it works well:
2400W Electric Freestanding Oil-Filled Radiator White - Screwfix
Order online at Screwfix.com. Oil-filled radiator with wheels for easy movement and 1.6m cable. FREE next day delivery available, free collection in 1 minute.www.screwfix.com
Yes £50 isn't too bad. The one I posted has wifi so I was thinking I would be able to switch it on from my phone on the way home from work or set a schdule for the morning etc ???

It's been raining all day in Bristol. The head fell off the snowman in the garden this evening and will probably be gone by the morning.

Nearly ten degrees now. Hallelujah!
We've had the heating on and it’s 25 degrees indoors now. Stripped off and everything

Do you not leave a few top windows cracked open to ventilate the place when you're not home?
Well I just looked at my account and during the last 7 days during this cold snap I used 166.39kwh / £19.30 in gas (which includes standing charge 28.5p and daily shower), so would it be worthwhile me spending money on a 2500w oil heater at 33p per kwh to run?

Blimey, I use that in one day. Do you ever have your CH on?
And I use £12 a day IF i turn any heating on,
Which I have to, all storage heaters, eco7, bad insulationThat is the central heating cost (incl daily shower) - I just put it on and turn it off as and when needed
It is already nearly 14C here (a few hours ago it was at zero).

It’s not even remotely cold, almost feels tropical with the humidity.
+18c swing from my commute on Friday

I think you'll find you're the outlier given you run your heating at around 22oC which is unbelievably hot for a house.

This is in spite of being super frugal and the hall never being above 15 degrees:
Interestingly Fri, Sat and Sun were with the heating on fixed timer for longer periods versus other days where it only came on when we boosted it.

No, somebody using £19 in gas over a week long cold snap is definitely the outlier.
I just checked my meter reading right now. I've used £38 in 18 days or £2/day (start of Dec)... I didn't remember the reading from 7-10 days ago.

Its amazing, this forum is full of people who use no gas. You are all well below the average in this country. You are the outliers.
