First of all I am NOT stalking you Jim. Second, i am not sure if this goes here but hey...

I have bought a house and it doesnt have any vents or anything for central air, soooo i am going to do (til i get some money at least) electric heating. Any suggestions? Its all more or less like a Spanish village to me!

Are there any good radiators that are either portable or any heaters that both heat and cool???

The short answer to your question is "yes, " Natasa.

You have some good options for portable heat, but their efficiencies will be lower than central heat/air generally.

Another option is to consider thru-the-wall heat/cooling -- similar to units used by hotels/motels. These usually require professional installation and work best with VERY open floorplans.

Invite one to three local heating/cooling professionals to visit your home to offer quotes. Let them know right up front that you will NOT be making a decision that day, and that your are "considering your options."

This helps hold off the high-pressure sell job many HVAC pro's use. (They know if they don't close the sale on first visit, chances of closing sale at all go way down.)

You have a lot of options involving an enormous range of costs. Always consider the projected monthly utilities costs of any system and then factor in the upfront costs, rebates, tax incentives, and low-rate financing options.

Please stop back and let me know how this goes for you, thanks!

That is SO much to think about!!!

I'll have to get cracking as i cant really do anything else until i sort that out, according to my Water & Electric company i cant even turn the water on until the house has been heated for at least 24hrs.

OK, Natasa,

Let's consider "emergency" heating, then. Try an Internet search for "portable electric heat" to gather some research first.

Then visit big-box stores like Home Depot or Lowe's to see what they offer for heating that can be plugged into a regular 110-volt outlet (not 220, which is common for permanent heating appliances).

Depending upon how many rooms your new home contains, you may have to buy several small heating units. The "no water" issue relates to the chance for your pipes to freeze and burst, if your home won't stay reasonably warm.

Please be careful about ANY heat source that burns fuel. These exhaust potentially dangerous fumes into your home, and always require ventilation. Kinda defeats the point of heating a room if you have to open a window, doesn't it?

Once you're established in your house you can investigate better, more economical long-term heating and cooling options. After that, you can sell your electric heat units on Craig's List or Ebay.

Good luck!   ~Jim
