Also, should i turn off the radiators in the rooms i dont use as much?
What temperature (degrees C) is the ideal temp to set it at?



Answer
Neither. :-) I don't know how electricity vs. gas breaks down in the UK, but in the US it's comparable. A gas fireplace has the same problem ALL fireplaces do, the heat goes up the flue. They're pretty, but inefficient as can be.

Plus burning gas puts a lot of humidity in the air, so you're adding cold dampness to the whole house.

You're best setting the central heating to a low number like 60 or 62 to keep the house livable, and using electric space heaters in the rooms you actually occupy.

Survey: What kinds of stoves do you like best?




Spring


There are so many kinds of stoves we can use them as heaters in the winter. Which one is your favourite, wood stoves, multi-fuel stove, pellet stoves, gas stoves, electric stoves, boiler stoves, even bioethanol fireplaces?
Any answer will be appreciated!
It will be best if you also can offer your reason.



Answer
Wood stoves, multi-fuel stove, pellet stoves, gas stoves, electric stoves, boiler stoves, even bioethanol fireplaces,every stove has its different, primary advantage with other stoves.

For me, I love wood burning stoves. I have my own firewood and I usually cut the wood at the beginning of a year and when the winter comes, I can use the dry woods.

Why do you have this question, does it means that you want to buy a stove? But don't know which kind of stove to choose, does it? Lol...if you like to buy a stove, you maybe have a look in the http://www.astove.co.uk, the Christmas day is coming, you can also get the 5% discount codes. A great bargain.
