This year we are opting for night storage heaters,in fact the company are calling tomorrow.

According to the size of the heater,they start at 500€ to 900€.

This price includes fitting,delivery,and vat.

Not bad at all.

Have only had good reports about them.

Buy rugs for your property. I have big rugs in our lounge, smaller rugs in the hallways, rugs beside all the beds. Slippers. Wall heaters in bathrooms. Aircon units in every room. A couple of oil filled radiators for cold periods I’m installing one in the hall when we next visit. We have a 4kw ...

...inset gas fire with attached air blower. Wonderful. No dampness at all. I hate being cold. You could keep a couple of wool rugs to cover up with should you feel cold. I tend to turn the aircon units on at about 5pm. I leave them on if we go out shopping and return home to a wonderful cosy room. If you don’t turn it on until later, the room is COLD so difficult to really heat up. 

Just remember, to heat a home in Ireland or the U.K. costs a lot. It will never cost you anything like that in Spain. It’s generally warm all day unlike home. Don’t  be cold. If you can’t afford to keep the heating on constantly, wrap up in layers. Wear warm socks and even a scarf. Stay warm. None of us can afford to be cold. Our health is vital.

We have a gas heater which is more than adequate for winter. A gas bottle lasts about 3 months and costs about €20.

There are many electrical heaters available from carrefour that kept us warm whichever room we were in whilst at Punta Prima. No central heating however no problem as you place it nearish to you and you may need also a blanket over your knees. 

Saw us through last winter with no problems in a 3 bed/ 2 bath quad. A thick duvet means no heating is required in the bedroom. No issues so enjoy 😉 ...

Hello. This will be my first winter in Spain. At the moment our only means of heating would be the air conditioning system. I'm guessing this could work out very expensive. Does anyone have tips for a cheaper way to heat our apartment? A single heater, strategically placed, I'm sure could heat th...

We had a night storage fitted a couple of months ago.

They said we needed the largest one.

We are not finding it warm,manufacturer recommends 21 degrees.Wasnt warm enough,turned it up to 23 deg,and we are still cold?

Our room temperature tonight is only 21 degrees,which isn't warm enough?

As this heater was expensive,we aren't very happy at this time?
