Buying Electric Fireplaces

Can I Switch From Coal Central Heating To Electric Central Heating Easily?

I have moved into a small village where gas is not available. My older home is heated by a coal (anthracite) fueled stove in the fireplace that heats the entire home by central heated radiators. Although everything works fine, it is just too messy and is ruining my carpets and I don’t like the smell either. Can the same central heating system that I have now be easily converted with an electric fireplace or is there a lot more to it than that?

    I’m in the states and i think you are in the uk because we dont use the term ”village”. And we dont really use electricity except to boil water for cooking and heat homes with electric baseboard elements.. But the idea of heating water with electricity and circulating it around a home is a valid one. I suggest you contact the electric companies and ask them.

    Yes you can,the system would need upgraded and flushed out.Wet electric boilers are becoming more popular in rural areas.
    LPG and oil are also an option.

    You will probably need to increase the electric service coming into your house.
