Re: Heating

Over eleven years I've used gas heaters(gas is pretty cheap but there is the condensation problem),new generation parrafin heaters(no condensation,minimum odour but the fuel is expensive here) and wood burning stoves(cheapest option fuel wise but can be messy and you have to clean/set it every day). 
Don't be frightened by people talking about back boilers and a thousand+ euro costs for stoves, whilst it's true you can heat the whole place with radiators from your stove and cook on/in it you don't have to jump right in straight away. You can get a new small wood burner starting about €100,plus you'll need chimney pipes, and you can upgrade later rather than jump straight in with top of the range. It gives you time to figure what suits you and who and where is trustworthy on advice and price.
Welcome to the forum and best of luck for your new life.
