Gas or Electric central heating

We currently have storage heaters but are thinking of having gas central heating, with all the uncertanty of gas supplies and future gas costs is it worth going down this road or getting new storage heaters?

    Don't forget to add on about £150 a year in boiler servicing charges if you convert to gas. If you are happy for storage heaters, or even if you are unhappy but have gotten used to them, then don't switch.

    Some people like to be ripped off.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
