We have two storage heaters in our living room, one in the hallway, and a radiator heater in our bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom have small fan (?) heaters near the ceiling with pull cords. Everything is electric. Our first two months here, we had no idea how to work the storage heaters correctly (both cranked up all the way made the mornings really hot). So now, we're trying to be as frugal as possible on our electricity since we got the quarterly bill for a lot more than we expected (it didn't help that we were on the worst plan). The heater in our bedroom has a timer and it is only on for about three hours around the time we go to bed and again for two hours around the time we wake up. We don't use the one in the hallway at all. In the living room, we only have one on and set to a medium-high heat for the winter. With the doors closed, the living room is livable most of the time (an extra layer of clothing is sometimes useful) and the bedroom is fine for us to sleep in. The rest of the flat is a frigid wasteland which we dare to venture in only to cook (the heat of the oven helps), use the bathroom, or to switch between rooms. So, yes, I sympathise with everyone who complains about cold rooms!
