That said, they needed to be on most of the time, but relatives with gas etc were saying much the same.
Just in case anyone mistakes this for a convergence of running costs of electric and gas heating, even the most efficient electric heating systems will still cost you ~4 times as much as a modern gas boiler to deliver 1 kWh of heat energy to the room.
Costs for the two sources to provide the same heat outputs would align pretty closely if your gas heating system was only running at about 30% efficiency, which would be very unusual.
@fizzy just wondering are you still happy with the Lucht heaters?
I'm considering replacing my storage/ panel heaters and can't decide between EcoVolt & Lucht....
Yes, still thrilled with the lucht heaters & no issues at all with either one yet a few years on (hope I don't jinx it saying that!).
Mind you I've no knowledge/experience of EcoVolt so they could be just as great or better of course...
But I can speak relative to standard storage and panel heaters, and there is no comparison. So I'd definitely advise replacing them with something.
The day my old main storage heater broke down mid winter was a blessing in disguise, because of all the toasty days I've had since
Thanks for your quick response @fizzy
That's exactly what's happened to me, main storage heater broken down so it's now or never I suppose (plus, getting parts for a 30+ years old storage heater isn't that easy apparently!) I'm just a bit concerned that I'd be losing my night rate....
@fizzy
Do the Lucht make the occasional crackling sound the oil heaters make when cooling down?
Did you buy yours in Ireland (I can only find one place there they sell them)?
Did you get the smart app control?
