Anyone have any knowledge of this lot or their products, they say their electric rads are cheaper to run than central heating

Had a quick look at their website. They claim their rads senses the temp req'd and adjusts accordingly for the output req'd. If you have gas central heating so does a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) and as gas has a lower running cost per Kw stick with gas.

If you look at total cost of ownership with the most expensive service plan from BG and you live in a one-bedroom first floor flat in a terrace... or am I being cynical?

Electricity is 3 to 4 times more expensive per kWh than gas; makes it a pretty short discussion.

fair point, just trying to decide whats best to put into a conservatory, GCH means pipes along the wall, through walls etc, this just looks easier...

and yes I know it will be expensive and its just a greenhouse and its not designed for all year round use
