Cost of switching to electricity
Hello all, first-timer here!
I have just had my heating oil stolen for the second time in a week and cannot see a security solution.
Can anyone advise me on the sort of cost comparison if I were to switch to an electric boiler in my current wet heating system? I realise it will be expensive, but in the order of what? My current boiler is 18 years old so I assume not too efficient.
Any help please!
Thank you.

An electric boiler....in my opinion....is pointless...
You may as well just use several convector heaters even on a temporary basis. They don't look as attractive as a wet central heating system but they will cost exactly the same to run as an electric wet central heating system.:footie:
