what to do for long term (oil/LPG)

iain_sherriff_2

hello all

So, we live in the sticks with only elec mains. At the moment we have a Watson (like an Aga) that cooks and provides hot water and central heating. We pay around £1900 a year for oil and top up with around £600 of wood for an open fire during a winter.
Three bed brick built semi cottage built 1900.

Debating wether to rip out Watson and replace with LPG powered cooker and seperate heating boiler but I cant work out the payback time to cover the £4000ish up front cost.

Am I barking to think of going this route anyway......................

that is an informative thread.........................

made me think a bit more about what I posted, i guess my real question should be
Am I paying a lot more for the heat i get from what I burn by having a
"one unit does all" system rather than moving to a seperate CH boiler

how does wet elec CH work out ?
