    Okay.. I have to be honest. Daily walks in this weather ... not so much fun.

    I think I am slowly getting used to the "slightly" lower temperature in my house. I did check my gas usage and it makes a HUGE difference. It really impressed me, normally when I kept the heating at 18 degrees at night, it already cost me 1.5 m3 of gas when I was waking up. The meter now said 0.33 m3...

    Hm. I bought an (secondhand) electric heater to avoid a crazy high gas bill. As I have solar panels, I assume that this is better in general. I am just not sure if this is a "only buy what you need" situation.. What do you think?

      I think it qualifies as what you need. You clearly want to avoid high gas bill and indeed solar power is better in general.. so win-win situation.
