Electric Heating
Generally -
It Doesn't Have
To Cost The Earth! |
|
Electric
heating in the home is now more than 17% cheaper than gas central
heating for the average householder, according to a recent study carried
out by Applied Energy. When you also take into account things like
annual servicing costs needed for boiler systems the savings are even
greater. "But running
electric heating is expensive isn't it?" "Electricity
costs more than gas doesn't it?" These are the most common
queries I get when anyone asks me about alternatives to traditional gas
fired central
heating. Well no - quite simply that is no longer the case.
Besides, not everyone has
access to mains gas (me included) and so it is important to look at the
options. These are some of the systems I have found over the years
that really do save you money and offer reliable, service for the long
term. |
