After 32 years I have finally managed to get permission to remove the oil fired Aga and replace it with a "normal" cooker. One side effect of this is that the room will be "under heated" by the existing single radiator.
Question: How accurate / realistic are the online BTU calculators? Do they tend to under or over estimate the BTUs required? We tend to live in cool-warm conditions rather than NursingHome-esque heat. One calculator suggests 8,000-8,500 BTU is required, but being a drafty & poorly insulated timber framed house it can only be a guide.
Any Top Tips re type or style to go for? Being a kitchen I thought flat panel rather than tubes etc due to keeping clean. Slim Fit is very preferable due to positioning. Landscape orientation essential.
