Nigello Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Has anyone gone electric for central/underfloor heating and hot water? I know the newer electric rads are much improved on storage heaters etc. but am unsure about hot water provision. Any experiences, good and bad, gratefully received.

Jules-and-Boo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I think gas is cheaper than electricity. That's unit price and standing charges.There are guides online comparing the two different ways of heating your home Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/321295-ditching-gas-heatinghot-water-for-electric-good-idea/#findComment-1610532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladi Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 In terms of thermal output per unit of cost, gas is far better value.

Nigello Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thanks Yes - but you can control rads individually with no boiler needed, though electric systems with boilers are available. No yearly upkeep either. As for water heated by electricity, they must be much improved on immersion heaters of old?

redpost Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Energy price cap: electricity 31.8p/kwh, gas 6.4p/kwhYou canna change the laws of physics, heating water is always going to be cheaper with gas Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/321295-ditching-gas-heatinghot-water-for-electric-good-idea/#findComment-1611088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
