Gas heating versus Electric heating systems
Comments

It is a large house, for the last 3 months, the gas bill was £550 and that's on an A rated boiler and a cheap tariff. A third of the tenants have their own portable electric heaters, despite there being no restrictions on the central heating. The electric bill for the last 3 months was £160, I think this is what gave me the idea that maybe electric heaters would not be so bad especially when you factor in maintenance costs... but that may just be an illusion.
They're probably not using their heaters much, despite having them.
Peak rate electric heating over the same period would have cost about 1200 or more.
Storage heating - if used optimally - maybe 800.0
