Using electricity for heating is always going to be more expensive than using gas.
As a previous posted said you get out the energy you put in, they are very efficient but are never ever economic.
Economy 7 is the only way of getting cheap units, modern storage heaters are much better than older models but are expensive, not to mention as heavy as a pile of bricks!

Electricity costs about 4.5p per Kilowatt Hour, Gas costs about 1.2p per Kilowatt hour.

I wish I knew where to get gas for 1.2p per kWh, and for that matter electricity at 4.5p per kWh - unless it is at E7 rates which are generally 2-3p

From my last bill: Electricity 4.59p Kwh, Gas 1.204p Kwh.

I did not include the daily standing charge which is 16.5p for Electricity, and 14.7p for gas.

I'm currently with Scottish Power online tariff, capped price.

The point I was making was that Electricty is 4 time the price of gas (at the moment anyway)

PS ***!! forgot to add on the VAT @5%
