So being without the boiler isn't a major problem. Just more expense than I want right now, and more hassle. It should all be working again within the month, I hope.

In most areas that I'm familiar with, electricity is the most expensive form of home heating and most folks try to avoid it if they can. Is that the case in the U.K. as well?
We have a wall-mounted aircon/heater unit that get's complimented with a
DeLonghi Oil-filled electric radiator in mid winter. These keep the living room/kitchen/bedroom at a comfortable level year round for about $200 US per month, which I think is pretty low. In Vermont, heating with electricity can run about $800 a month for five winter months...
