I am looking upgrade my vacation home’s heating system, and I am wondering whether I should install (electrical) radiators or convectors in the bedrooms.

It is a poorly insulated farm with a lot of inertia (50cm – 20″ stone and mortar walls), that we use no more than 3 weeks each winter.

It gets pretty cold there (as I am writing this, 4°C / 39°C outside, 12°C / 54°C inside. At the peak of winter outside temperature may go below -10°C / 14°F).

I have been doing a lot of reading, and my takeaway is that radiators are more economical and comfortable than convectors, but are twice as expensive.

Since they won’t be used much, energy efficiency is not a factor here.

My main question is, how bad are convectors, in my scenario. Will it be confortable enough to spend nice holidays, or will we be cold?
