FARHO HEATING
Monthly Running Cost
5,793 Kw X 0,14 Kw/h X 5h/day X 30 days/month = €122 / month
FARHO system is one of the only systems in the market that gives you "Heat on Demand", the temperature you want, when you want and where you want. For 12h of heating FARHO system as an average throughout the winter has a consumption of 5h a day which are divided in the two rates (economy and full tariff). For this example we have only used the expensive / full tariff.

Boiler Heating
Monthly Running Cost
7,821 Kw X 0,107 Kw/h X 5h/day X 30 days/month
+ monthly maintenance €16 = €142
Boiler Central Heating systems need annual maintenance with an approximate cost of €125 per year. In a 6 month winter that would be a cost of €21 per month which needs to be included in the monthly Cost. Total installed capacity of a Boiler System is typically the same as fluid filled system (Farho) with an increase of 30/40% due to heat losses through boiler and pipes.

Storage Heating
Monthly Running Cost
12.1 Kw X 0,07 Kw/h X 7h/day X 30 days/month = €178
The room temperature is not controllable, usually high in the mornings and going down throughout the day. Usually by the time you arrive home and sit down for tea you would need to use an extra supply of heat to maintain the room in a comfortable temperature, which would increase the daily consumption of the system.
