Hi,
My parents have a holiday cottage, which contains a Rayburn Royale. It's currently fuelled by coal, but they are considering changing to oil/LPG. The idea would be to run the Rayburn on the lowest setting continuously (heating the water, but not radiators) and turn it up to operating temperature when they get there at weekends.
I realise these are "how long is a length of string" questions, but they just want a rough idea of the costs involved.
I've got a couple of questions about this:
1) LPG; can you turn this off between visits to the cottage? If not, how much would it cost to run if set to "minimum" heat output?2) If converted to oil, how much would it cost if left on the lowest setting?
They have been quoted £200 for the parts for a coal-oil conversion, and £300 for fitting them!
Thanks, Nathan
