Cost of switching to electricity

360door

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.

put 240v to the tank will soon stop the bleeders
other than that is there no way of putting a housing round the tank to make it harder for the thiefs

What! that is BAD, stolen oil.
A sign of how hard times are getting. It makes me chuccle every time I see the cheese locked up in plastic boxes in Iceland.
