How about the latest infra-red panels, in your home?

The advantage is low upfront cost and simple installation. I’ve banged on in the past about my little infra-red lamps to keep feet warm in the shoulder evenings. Perhaps I should use these as well.

Infra red is good for large or draughty spaces. You’re heating the person / objects, not the air…

Well yes. We’re about to start the great game (some might say we’ve already started) of avoiding lighting the boiler, which is a log burner in my case. My heat lamps are used to keep Mr and Mrs Stan’s feet warm in the Autumn evenings as we will each inevitably be sitting at different computers or reading.
I’m tempted to buy a small plug and play panel just to see how effective it can be. Pity about the recent thumping great rise in electricity prices but the real issue is reducing carbon emissions if we can afford it.
