Morning All

How we doing?

I'm looking for some info and wondered if anyone could help. I work for an electrical retailer specialising in energy efficient products. I'm in the process of upgrading my home central heating system and thinking about going all electric. I spend all day telling people to be more green so thought I would use my own as a case study.

Has anyone replaced a GCH system for electric? Did it make a big difference to your costs? I'm not trying to sell anything, just asking for some advice.

Cheers

Chris
 
Never had electric heating systems in any of the houses i've owned. Never had electric hob's either, not until the induction hob became affordable. If a comparison was made between 2 identical houses (in every respect), on the costs for hot water and heating between gas and electricity, over a year ...Gas will always come out as the winner!!
 
I agree with Engineer 54 did the calcs years ago and mains gas wins hands down every time

Looking into some costings at the moment regarding LPG V's electric but I don't think the cost gap will be as big
