LPG, Heating Oil, Solid & Other Fuels

A question about : Oil

As an oil heating user, one big bill each year is the oil - the costs are now up significantly.

Point is, over the years I have heard so many tips that I wonder which is a myth and which is genuine:

1. It costs more to run your boiler if you set the temp too low

I run mine on the min setting, but the engineer tells me i'd use less if i turned it up! He should know, but i can't get my head around the idea. Who is right?

2. It costs no more to run the boiler all day than at morning and evenings only.

A question about : Non electric heaters required

I need a non-electric form of heating for my bathroom. I have central heating but there are no radiators in my bathroom and I don't want to spend extra in installing one.
Are there any small portable gas/liquid fuel heaters which can be used to heat a room for 10-20 minutes?

A question about : Wibo night storage heaters

Does anyone have any experience of these heaters. They are only sold direct to the householder via a leaflet posted through the door. My very old Auntie has been sold two, and they look to be very expensive.

A question about : Green Energy Advice and help

sorrry - this is a moan....

I want to go green but i've spent ages on the web looking for an ultra efficient oil condensing boiler, domestic turbines, domestic solar panels etc - and to be honest they are all sooooooo expensive.

there must be an answer!

i know thatgrants are available but even then the cost is massive.

I'd like to establish one fact:

Does anyone know which oil fired boiler is the most energy efficient available in the uk?

my boiler is 15 - trianco - so getting old.

A question about : Our Wood Pellet Boiler decisions.........

There seems to be very little info available online about peoples experiences of their installs of wood pellet boilers, and so, as we are about to choose one of these for our home, i thought i would document how we came to choose this solution, what the install is like, and how it works out for us in the future. Anything to help!

A question about : Post your stove pics here...

I seen a pic of w50nky stove on another thread and thought it would be good to post a pic of all people's different stoves to see their style. I should be able to post a pic by Wednesday of next week
