Hi Mark and Jeffrey,
Yes, the real question is likely to be how long the internal clock can be left to run before its energy source runs down. I'm naturally hoping it will take a few months in its stride.
Mains gas is not an option in the village, and the perceived cost, space requirement and general upheaval of installing a calor gas or similar installation counted against it.
I used to have Economy 7. Maybe worth considering again now, but I remember how expensive the on-peak rate was!
The old solid fuel system was dreadfully inefficient, laborious, dirty, and expensive to run. So I readily admit the bar was set low when thinking of a possible replacement! This is still comparatively expensive to run, but it is sooo convenient compared to what went before.
I have a heat pump/ air conditioner in the workshop and agree it's effective.
