lpg heating - keep it or ditch it?

Hi, We have moved into a large stone detached house with an old lpg boiler. The house is as insulated as possible and we have 2 woodburning stoves as well. Since moving here last year, we have seen 3 price rises in the coast of lpg and now face a dilemma. My suggestion is to replace all the radiators with electric wall…

You could install a multi-coil thermal store / heatbank and link everything in to it, i.e.

-economy 7 off-peak electricity
-woodburner stove with back boilers or other solid fuel
-existing LPG boiler for as long as you want to keep it
-solar hot water

This would allow you to keep your existing radiator systems and allow maximum flexibility in the future.
