Hi I have Jemplair hot air central heating that is coming up for 15 years old. I also have a maintenance contract with Scottish Gas. I have had a letter from them saying that as the heating is reaching the end of it's life I might consider replacing it. I quite like the hot air heating but my wife would prefer radiators. Would replacing the hot air system with radaitors lead to a significant reduction/increase in my gas/electric costs. At the moment we leave the heating on all day and are paying £23 month direct debit for gas and £25 month for electric, though I expect that to go up shortly.
What would be the savings in electricity using a pump instead of a fan and heating water instead of air? And should I just wait until Scottish Gas decide that it is no longer economical to service my heating as I am in no hurry to change or replace it?(no money)
