The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys. Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine Which? and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public. Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of Which? readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of Which? readers are unlikely to be typical.Main Topics: A comprehensive study covering: a) solid fuel, gas or oil boilers that heat hot water radiators or convectors; b) electric, solid fuel, gas or oil heaters that supply warm air to more than one room through ducts( c) solid fuel or gas room heaters with high output back boilers that heat radiators ; d) electric underfloor heating; and e) electric ceiling heating. Information includes: brand name; type; performance and capacity of heater; pump; time controls; pipes; radiators etc.; type and source of fuel (e.g. off-peak electricity, name of oil company etc.) together with any difficulties in obtaining fuels. Data is also included on installation of system (including finance). Satisfaction of respondent with heating system in general, performance of parts of system and servicing required, is tested throughout the survey.
