A central heating system is more efficient
and cost effective than having to rely on wood fires. We have been living with
this form of heating many years now.
If you are thinking of throwing out your
seventies radiators and your budget is tight you will have to find cheap radiators to replace them.
Cheap does not necessarily mean bad. There might be a shorter warranty on them and
they will be simpler in design, but they will be much more energy efficient
than the ones you are throwing out.
Over time radiators will fill up with
sludge and they might start to corrode at the points where the water in and
outlets are. You can either have the
inside power cleaned, but why not replace the ugly old ones?
They will keep you warm, are more energy
efficient and at the same time they will improve the décor of your home. The new styles are there to blend in well
with old and new furniture.
It may be that electric radiators are
cheaper to buy, but you have to consider how much they are going to cost you to
run as electricity is generally more expensive than gas. A slightly more expensive heater may cost you
less in the end.
Of course you can go a little further and
have thermostatic valves installed at the same time. They are very efficient in saving you energy
by shutting off the radiator when the room has come up to temperature. The old valves you used to have were probably
on their last legs too as they are only efficient for so long.
The new radiators, whether cheap or not,
are far more durable than their old counterparts. They are made of metals that are often powder
coated that give a finish that is not easily chipped and the powder coating
will also protect the metals underneath from damp.
They are easily cleaned with a damp cloth
to keep them looking new for longer, so if you look after them well they will
last you for years.
