If storage heaters stay the fook away, run a mile, they are god awful. I dont really have any personal experience with panel heaters or leccy heating, but it will be more expensive to run than an equvalent gas system (something like, it takes the same amount of kWh to heat 1l of water to a certain temperature, whether its gas or lec, but lec costs 4x/5x more per kWh than gas)

i had elec storage heaters in my last house, came on during the night and you had flaps that you could close over to store the heat and open up in the morning, bills were about £60 a month and that was including all other elec in the house, guess it depends on the type of heater,
is there no gas available in the house?

Hes talking about warm air heating not storage heaters. Warm air is pants, quite a dry heat and doesnt really heat the whole room. Would factor that into the price perhaps knock 5k off for central heating system?

Folks have a storage warm-air central heating system - it does the job at keeping the house at a reasonable temperature. Although it isn't that quick from switching the storage heater on til hot air being pumped out around the house (takes ~20/30mins).
