How do you heat your home?
Winter is upon us and fuel prices are up.

This is a poll to see how we're all keeping warm.

You missed the option for central heating via a woodburning stove.

Having said that luckily it is a multiburner so gonna have to start on coal soon cos I'm running out of wood

hint hint anyone??

OH its got to be Oil Heating for me, its ace. nearly instant heat after the click of the button..
Price was not too bad the last time i filled the tank, not sure how much exactly.

But i hear that the price is going to be going up ^. Anyone no how much for 1000 litres..

I still cut and burn peat together with logs and coal when necessary.
There are two heats in coal and the wood!

**changilass** · 14-Dec-06, 19:47

Would love to burn peat, where can I get it from

I have a gas fire and gas central heating but I also use a halogen heater in the kitchen when I dont have the heating on. they are cheap to buy ,give out a lovely red glow and heat, are very safe and under 3p an hour to run. the cat loves it.

Town gas central heating - very cheap and heats up very quickly and our house holds in the heat great. I would never want anything else

we have oil central heating and a coal fire and a woodburning stove. some times we do have them all going at same time. luckily we have tonnes and tonnes of wood which is free, just a shame oil and coal isnt.

in our home we have oil heating and its good . but i would love to have a coal fire again . it just makes it feel like home more . with the red glow and the heat that comes off it .

**scotsboy** · 14-Dec-06, 21:35

Ours is cooled not heated

**DarkAngel** · 14-Dec-06, 21:46

I have got Oil heating and i got my tank filled up with 1200 ltr oil in October and it was just over £300

**r.rackstraw** · 14-Dec-06, 22:48

We use our own peats and wood plus some coal to fire one rayburn and one stove. Also 2 electric storage heaters just ticking over - but these give you most heat when you don't want it - in the early morning.

Another one you could add to the list is the new heating system by the distillery (C.H.P) Caithness heating power .

**Wellies** · 14-Dec-06, 23:52

Peats, coal and storage heaters. Peats are definately the best. They are lovely for christmas.

**crystal** · 15-Dec-06, 01:03

**WeeBurd** · 15-Dec-06, 02:13

We have oil, far better and cleaner than solid fuel that we did have

**squidge** · 15-Dec-06, 11:45

charnwood Multi fuel boiler fire thing that keeps the house warm by heating radiators

**lelebo** · 15-Dec-06, 13:24

Hi there - where do you buy your oil from? My oil in August cost almost 400 for 1000l !!

**dozerboy** · 15-Dec-06, 13:43

Log fire - powered from off cuts from a local saw mill - which I get free. But electric fires in other rooms just now.
