ᐅ Which type of heating system allows me to heat economically using electricity?

Today, I viewed a really nice apartment that I would have liked to take immediately. Unfortunately, there is a catch: it was built in the 1970s and has only an electric storage heater for heating. The previous tenant had an electricity bill for nearly 30,000 kWh per year!
I definitely do not want to spend that much. However, the house only allows heating with electricity. Now the question is how to heat most cost-effectively with electricity. For example, what is the opinion on Evolit heating systems? What other options are available?

Traditional radiators usually take some time for the warmer water to circulate through the pipes... Last year, I bought an infrared heater and had it mounted on the wall – works great... heats up very quickly... I can definitely recommend it.

KlausGuenter-110 Feb 2017 08:45Since our bathroom only has a small radiator due to space limitations, and it doesn’t provide enough heat output, we installed an infrared heater above it. It takes about 30–60 minutes to warm the bathroom up to 28°C (82°F) or higher.
Whether it’s cost-effective depends on how often it’s used. However, we are very pleased with this option and plan to combine it with a suitable solar system later. That should make the costs reasonable.
It’s best to get more information at building trade fairs near you. 🙂

modern infrared heaters could be an alternative if you need to heat with electricity; you could also consider having an exhaust pipe installed on the house and getting a pellet heating system. If this is feasible from a construction and space perspective, this type of heating is cheaper than using electricity. It’s a good idea to have a professional (perhaps the chimney sweep first) come on site and provide advice.
