Considering Switching To Electric From Gas. Any Thoughts?

Having just moved in my new house (yippee), I am seriously considering swapping the gas heating system for an electrical one and move to economy. I used Dimplex brick heaters in my old flat and they did provide with a substantial background heating which is not the case for gas heating it seems.
Furthermore, I've been told that I will need to do an annual checkup for gas and with gas prices going up, now might be the time for me to invest in electric.
Anyone got some thoughts?

No simple answer here.
On a strict comparison on cost per kwh gas is around 5/12ths the price of electricity.
If the property is your own, while there is no law that states you HAVE to get an annual checkup it is a good practice to get one done at least every 2 years on a newish boiler & every year on an old one..0
