We are renting a small apartment in Spain until next summer and have a space heating choice of electric oil filled convector heaters or Panasonic invertor AC units CS & CU RE12JKE-1Anyone know whether the air con units are generally the cheapest way of heating and down to what outside temperature they are reasonably efficient?We are near Malaga so we are not expecting sub zero temperatures.TIA for any replies

Only spend a month or so in Spain (not always at 1 go) most of the year in France (between Poitiers and Nantes) and a bit in Lancashire

I'll drink to that!

Didn't think it was allowed to have installed gas cylinders indoors. On boats and caravans have to have the gas cylinders in separate and ventilated at the bottom enclosures.

Thanks Dave. I was surprised but this is Spain

There's a popular model of cooker with a cupboard next to the oven for the propane bottle, but most of the people I know have 'moved' the bottle into an outside locker for safety.
