HOW MUCH TO HEAT OUR HOME? ROTTEN CONSERVATORY, ELECTRIC RADIATORS, AND THE LOG BURNER. ADVICE PLEASE!

EV Channels Review

The video addresses a significant home heating cost issue stemming from a dilapidated conservatory. The reviewer highlights the conservatory's poor thermal performance, with significant heat loss and air leaks due to its rotten structure. Several repair and replacement options are presented, ranging from a £5,100 fix for the existing structure to a £10,000 solid roof replacement, and a full £25,000 replacement. The reviewer also explores the high cost of electric heating, noting a £5 per day spend on heating the entire house in early November, and a potential £19,700 (after grant) for a heat pump system. The primary dilemma is the significant cost versus the desire for a functional, well-heated space, with the reviewer seeking advice from the audience on the best course of action. The video also touches upon energy tariffs and the use of a log burner, with differing opinions on its practicality and environmental impact.
