Another thing I noticed in the UK and Ireland is the ghastly-looking electric storage heaters. Those things are an absolute waste of energy and space. I threw them out the moment I got the keys to my apartment and installed some german Lucht LHZ panels which are a lot more stylish, heat better and use a lot less power. Not to mention they’re smart too. For houses another economic option is heat pumps. Unless the temperatures go down below -15 celsius, they’re gonna save a ton of cash and keep uniform heat in the house.
