    Have you considered a heat pump? Because they’re basically heat exchangers, they move the heat rather than creating it and thus use a shitload less energy

    I’m not trying to be a sanctimonious twat here btw, I know there’s been a lot of disinformation about more efficient technologies, and a lot of people have simply just never heard of, or are unaware of just how established and proven alternate technologies are.

      Yes actually, that’s why I use so much electricity. Previously I was using only the solid fuel furnace and required much less electricity, but had to stockpile a lot more firewood.

      The house is old and it’s big. I live in it mostly because it was built by my family so it was free to me and I can’t really afford to buy anything else. I’m also slowly repairing it so it’d either be a nicer place to live or worth more if I do ever decide to sell it.
