Not as star warsy as it sounds, there are many variations on this available now and comparable prices to conventional heating. An element is sunk beloew the surface of the ground, either horizontally or vertically, which draws the latent heat in the earth and transfers to a water system which heats your home. Very ecological and a lot more common than you think. BY far the cheapest form of heating is obtained by geo-thermal.

The other options are Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG or 'bottled gas'), oil and electricity. Solid fuel can also be used, although the majority of self-builders choose this for a supplementary form of heating - eg. Wood burning stoves. Oil is the cheapest, followed by mains gas, LPG and then electricity. Running costs will also be determined by the efficiency of your heating system. At the centre of this system is a boiler or cooker which burns the fuel to provide both space heating and hot water. an estimated 70 per cent of self-builders have to find an alternative fuel to heat their home.
