Log burner Ambifuego and oil fired CH. 11 radiators maintenance by Ferroli, Installation by Paul and Eddie ACE Electrical excellent workmanship, buy oil in summer when cheaper - like others have said, No Standing Charge. Ps. CH also does hot water but advisable to have standby for hot water - we have boiler in outside underbuild and should CH have a problem - Paul has installed a tap, switch boilers water off and switch water on in the outbuild to electric boiler.
Worth it’s weight in gold when we got flooded out as boiler in garage was under near 2m of water and a right-off. Always have a back up.

We installed a Pellet Burner almost 5 years ago to heat 4 bed 2 bathrooms 4.50E a bag for pellets can last a week or if very cold February & March can use 3 bags a week. Very clean with little ash in pan & remote controlled on / off & temp control.

Whether it's gas, oil fired, or electric storage heaters, central heating is the way to go. Even modern log and pellet burners are messy compared to radiator heating. Also, central heating gives you an even temperature throughout the house, with no cold spots. We have a Gabarron system, wired direct to the electricity consumer unit, so the radiators charge during the cheap, night-time rate: https://www.elnur-global.com/storage-heaters/
As you say you haven't purchased yet, have a look at Fincas de la Vega, a small urb (not a community, so no president and no rules) about 10 minutes inland from Guardamar del Segura, just off the CV-9032 - about 70 detached houses and bungalows, most with private pools. The construction is insulated, cavity walls - a rarity in Spain!

Log burner all the way. Two bed villa, nice and warm. Fuel cost ten euro a week. We have ours on 24 hours a day. Bit messy but worth it. Buy good seasoned wood. Torremondo the best so far. We collect our own and enjoy the drive there.

We’ve just installed a wood burner and heats our 3 bed detached villa a treat , I put the shutters down at night and have curtains and it’s still warm in the morning. We paid €130 for a ton of citrus logs and may have to buy another half ton but will keep us going all winter. They do cause a little bit of mess but we love the effect and the heat is perfect.

We have put in dry-lining & insulation inside all external walls & ceilings plus replaced all windows with good double glazed units.
Cost c €15k for a 3-bed.
Makes a huge difference to comfort levels with little heating.
Also much cooler in summer!

I thank all of you for your time and assistance in advising me your personal experiences in economically heating a house in the most proficient way. Much appreciated. I will use this advise when I purchase a new residence in 2020.
