Well, you could always just size up one of those heated blankets, and attach it to the wall. Maybe even combine it with a more efficient fuel source like Natural Gas, and heat water that flows through the system instead of a coil. Sounds much more efficient, especially if you have multiple people in your household. Imagine a system like that...



Coming from Denmark that basically sounds like "normal" heating to me (except we usually only heat through the floor or dedicated radiators)

But I really like your idea about carpeting the walls. Might do that if I end up living here long term!


I was attempting to be srcastic and explain that mounting a radiator on a wall connected to a gas boiler would be an improvement on what we have here. Also, many places in the UK and Ireland have insulation on exterior walls already.


We were thinking about heated floors; still not that great, but the best you can do in a south Chinese apartment without central heating.
