Heating in our house is starting to get unaffordable for us. Does anyone have an Electric Fireplace in their Bedroom? Does it keep you warm at night?
Which would you recommend, electric or Fuel?
It says it uses as much Electricity as a Coffee Machine.
Answer
Having an electric fire is your bathroom would be against building regulations as electricity and water don't mix, your best option is an oil filled towel heater. I installed one last winter and left it on all the time as once they are hot they do not use much power and it kept the whole upstairs at a reasonable temperature.
Gas or coal is always cheaper than electric for all other fires, I bought my electric fires from http://www.directfiresonline.co.uk they were really helpful advising me on which ones to buy as they have different power outputs and they also got me my bathroom heater even though they don't stock them!

What should I spend my money on to increase my home value?

We are looking to refinance our home and know we need to fix some things up but want to know what the best way to go is. We heat our house with a woodstove and have some small electric heaters and an electric fireplace, but no heat pump or furnace. We have a lot of cosmetic work that needs to be done as well. The house was a fixer upper when we bought it and we have done A LOT to it. We currently have the money to put in a heat pump but we're thinking about finishing off the attic, repairing a bad patch in the roof, fencing in the yard, finally putting in all the trim and completing the cosmetic work. After that we would cash out refinance and put in the heat pump. Or we could reverse it and do the heat pump first. Which would increase my home value more, the heat pump or all of the combined cosmetic work?
Answer
The three improvements to an older home that gives the highest return on the cost of investment are:
Modernize the master bathroom
Mordernize the kitchen
Replacing all the windows
Also replacing the old garage door with a new roll up door gives a high return.
