Is my central heating, heating my whole flat, likely to be more expensive or cheaper than only heating my living room with my gas fire, I wonder?
I realise this is a dull question but I’d honestly like to know the answer and I honestly don’t have a clue.
I know there’ll be loads of variables but if it makes any difference I live in a fairly large, seventies-build flat with double glazing and two bedrooms. The fire I speak of is a fairly new one, with the pretty flames behind the glass kind of deal.
You’d assume that only heating one room would be cheaper than heating the whole flat but well, I just don’t know.
On a side note, if I turn all the radiators off in my flat except the one in the living room, will this be cheaper or the same? Or maybe negligible?
I’m not on the breadline or anything but I’ve never owned my own property before and sitting here in one room most of the night whilst the whole flat heats up is bringing the miser out in me.
