Hello,
I currently have LPG gas central heating which I use sparingly, mainly for the upstairs. Also have a wood burning stove downstairs. I discovered yesterday that our gas boiler is knackered and will need replacing, probably at a cost of around £3k. For years my parent's have been telling me that I would be better off with electric storage heater's like them, and now that I'm going to have to shell out some money for something I thought it would be interesting to hear what other people think.
At present our gas cost is about £900 a year and rising, and standing charge £63 a year, that's before paying to have boiler serviced annually at a cost of about £100. This is for a 4 bed detached farmhouse in a fairly exposed position, and as I said, we use gas as little as possible.
