can anyone tell me if they have electric storage heaters and if they are exspensive, ie how much would a 3 bed house cost with electric cooker and storage heaters, as we have a chance of a house exchange and i need to know if they are exspensive to run or not, and if weather on this to take the house or not.
many thanks

Electric storage heaters work on off-peak electricity. They heat up overnight and give off the heat during the day.
They are basically a large box full of bricks with an electric heater in. The bricks get hot overnight and as they cool down, the heat goes into the room. You can set the heat to different levels, depending on how warm or cold the weather is.
You can't turn them off once they are heated up, although you can restrict the air through them so they cool down a bit slower, and by the following evening, most of the heat has gone and you may need back-up heating.
They have the disadvantage that they are less responsive. If you have an unexpectedly warm day after stoking up the heaters, they will still be giving off heat anyway. If you have a cold day after leaving them off or turned down, there is no heat to warm the room.
Whether they are more expensive or not depends a lot on how good the insulation in the house is and how well the heat is retained. In general they are likely to be more expensive and less controllable than an equivalent gas fired central heating system.
Why not ask the owners for their opinion - but bear in mind they want rid of the house....

Contrary to some answers, storage heating is not anymore expensive than Gas (The cost of gas is quite high at the moment) The main problem with these types of heaters is that a lot of people haven't got much idea on how to operate them properly. Take time to read the manual if it has been left or ask the previous owners or association staff how to work them. Once the stored heat is out that's it, but if you adjust the heater correctly (input/output controls) this stored heat can last a very long time. Modern heaters are also much slimmer than the bulky older models and look pretty good. The yearly cost is difficult to calculate as it will depend on how often it's used by you personally.

ive had electric storage heaters in 2 houses ive lived in. They are a bit expensive but it depends how old they are, the newer ones are more efficient. You also have to predict the weather in advance as they take 2 nights to store up enough heat to cope with cold weather. If you like the house the heating is a minor consideration really, hopefully you would have some form of instant heat too.Ask the people who live there now, they might tell you.

It's hard to say what you'd actually save on the utilities, but you would save something. You'd also save some space. You'd never run out of hot water. And they last longer than a tank water heater. $900 is the absolute cheapest price for an installed tankless I've ever heard - it's a little less than the cost of a good unit by itself. Note that the better units are from Noritz, Takagi, or Rinnai.

Our house is all electric and we have modern dimplex slimline heaters fixed to the walls and operate with timers just like gas central heating. So you can control when you want your house heated. the old storage heaters that store heat during the night are rubbish. Ask if they have any winter bills you can compare with what you pay now.

We live in a 1930 three bed semi. It is well insulated and our electricity bill is about £750 for the year. That is for everything we do not have any gas in the house at all.

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts. Learn here http://EndPrematureEjaculation.enle.info/?u30m
As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.

they're not the cheapest but they aren't that expensive as they use electricity at off peak times during the night and store the heat in the internel bricks which releases the heat all day

They are dead exspensive, I personally wouldn't have them, but everyone has differing opinions. And it's up to you whether or not you want the exspense of running them in the winter.
