[QUOTE="champagnecharly, post: 541901, member: 36302"] You could run a Airsource heatpump for a 2 bed or bigger on that amount of KW. wether it is excessive for that kind of flat is hard to say although i would think almost deffinately. much would depend on: insulation of the build (EPC) hot it is set to/ how long they are left on outside temperature is/ location in the UK whether they keep their windows open all the time and loose the heat generated. Storage heaters are not magic devices and not meant to be just left on. They are meant to use cheap electricity e.g. at night on economy 7 and then store that energy using the thermal mass =brick type things. so the heat is radiate throughout the day. Octopus has a great deal on air source heatpumps you may wish to consider that. [/QUOTE]
