Re: aki wall heaters
I agree with you, as we have used these radiators and find that the heat just rises to the ceiling and sits there until it cools enough to fall back to the floor! I find a fan heater of the same power circulates warm air so at least we get the benefit of it, before it heads to the highest point in the room. I am tempted to invest in a portable gas heater for the winters from now on.

I can picture it now, the family all huddled around an oil filled rad trying to keep warm! You folks know how to live!

I've been in a couple of Spanish homes recently where they had just that - a small heater under the dining table to keep everyone warm whilst they eat (and these are fairly well-off people).

Re: aki wall heaters
We use wall mounted electric fan heaters, with variable heat and fan speeds,(they come with a remote) in our bathrooms. They look like mini A/C units.
They are, as far as I know purpose made for bathrooms, and are safe and efficient. They heat up the bathroom very quickly and as they are only on for a short while, whilst we shower, they are cheap to run.
Certainly do a better job than the old element type (ie the old Dimplex type we had in the UK years ago) that we had before these new ones.
All electric shops sell them.

We are having our wood burning stove fitted today and I am SO excited After ten years of being miserably cold at times in the winter I just can't wait to try it out!

Re: aki wall heaters
I just bought one too and haven't had to change the bottle yet but it seems cheaper than either electricity or lena.

Re: aki wall heaters
That only applies to the 12.5kg bottles as they are heavily subsidised compared to the very large bottles.

Re: aki wall heaters
I read somewhere that the 12.5 Kg bottle is supposed to last about 56 hours in a normal gas heater on medium.
