If you're short on wall space, look into triple panel rads. Huge BTU ratings for not a large amount of real estate
gillies-
Good call, I think moving the rad from under the window to the area behind the sofa may be a good idea or even just adding another rad there as well (the pics are of half of the big lounge the small one is the same size as this pictured bit if that makes sense) The fitters said there’s enough capacity in the boiler to support a 100% increase in rad size in both of the lounges. Hmm.… my guess is bigger rads would make the system more efficient?

Not sure if this is a question, a statement, a rant or a cry for help.
We live in a chalet bungalow that’s around 2,5sqft, we have an ASHP. We changed from an oil burning system. We know we need to fit some larger rads, but there’s not a whole lot of wall space, big windows etc. it’s fully insulated, but…
… over this cold snap our a daily electric cost @ 29.21p is averaging at £27 a day and we hit £32 the other day. The temp is set at a not crazy 19* there’s an older person in the house. The stats on the controller are showing a 3 or 1 on energy in heat out. Is this crazy or I’m I just getting obsessed with looking at our smart meter? I don’t look at it normally tbh.
I put a consumption plug thing on a 3,000watt oil rad at work that’s on 24hrs a day in a room with 3 others and it used £17.50 a day on its own so that’s £70 a day to heat that one room. This has made me feel slightly better, but not much.
Edit;
I’ve also just discovered that the heated airer has been on, as has the tumble dryer and the dehumidifier. Fuck me oldies hey!
