Hello everyone,
I have found an interim rental option:
a single-family house that has been vacant for some time and is to be completely renovated in 2023
with an oil heating system
(and an empty oil tank)
I mainly want to make ONE room habitable and keep it comfortably heated
(and occasionally use the kitchen/bathroom for a few hours)
Heating oil costs about €1.25 to €1.30 per liter in the area
I think 1 liter of oil produces about 8 kWh of heat?
that would be 16 cents per kWh of heat ...
the price list of the local electricity provider states - besides a basic charge of about €20/month - a consumption-based electricity price of 16 cents per kWh
(it is 2 km west of the border in the neighboring country)
and in the hardware store I find such "infrared heating panels" - 450 watts for 80 euros or 600 watts for 100 euros
does anyone have experience with this?
is this at least a reasonable alternative to the oil heating during the "transition period"?
(which is probably not very efficient if you only heat ONE room in the house at +10° or +5° outside temperature?)
