    Hi there,

    Does anyone have any experience/reviews of CeP plasterboard radiator system? Refurbishing a small mid-terrace house, only 3.5m wide by 9m long, with no heating system at all at present. Visited Ecovolt's showroom to see the system - carbon electric paint is applied to normal or insulated plasterboard, connects to 24V transformer (max 4 panels per transformer) and uses 350 watts per square metre.

    Although derelict for 2 years, the house is warm and dry with no heating system at all, and is so small that I don't want to lose any wall space to radiators. Was considering underfloor heating on the ground floor, but this plasterboard system seems like a good option in theory. The walls, internal floors, and roof of the house will be newly/fully insulated.

    Any experience/reviews of the CeP system would be much appreciated.

    I have no experience of these systems. Ultimately it's an electric heating system so will cost more than oil or gas to operate. Although, in a small house, heating probably won't be a massive cost so the bills should be alright. I do like the idea of not losing any wall space to radiators. One alternative you could look at is an air to air heat pump. This would be much cheaper to run than electric heating and instead of radiators you would only have a unit on the wall a little below the ceiling so would not really lose wall space.
