    Hi,

    I'm looking to change my central heating from Oil to something else......

    I'm guessing the options are:

    1.gas
    2.Wood pellets burner
    3.Electric?
    4.Anything else that I should consider?

    Suggestions would be appreciated......

    Hello,

    I was looking into waste oil burners... if you can get a constant used oil supply then something like this might be suitable?

    One of the systems I was looking at also needs an air compressor attached permanently... I kinda just stopped looking after the winter (lazy) to be honest. After reading your post today I think it's time to start doing more homework again... :)

    Hi Graham,

    I was in the same position as yourself. I decided on gas as its piped on the raod anyway. It all depends on where you live, space to store fuel etc.
    Can you give us some more details please?
