Electric heating cost?!

soplum

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a house however it has electric heating. 

It is a 3 bed semi (small)

There is gas pipes on the road it is built on but not to the house. 

Can anyone tell me how much my electricity bills will be roughly?? 

How much will it cost to install gas central heating (especially as the pipes don’t go up to the house?)

TIA

Those will probably be 'how long is a piece of string' questions, although https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/gas/retail-market/monitoring-data-and-statistics/typical-domestic-consumption-values has some average electricity usage analysis, and https://clubs.moneysavingexpert.com/cheapenergyclub offers cost comparison tools.

You might find more informed input on the heating installation cost via the dedicated energy board: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/energy

I'd ask the vendor how much it costs them. Whilst you're probably not in direct contact, I'm sure that either the estate agent or your solicitor/conveyancer can ask on your behalf. The answer you get won't be exact (e.g., because your usage pattern will probably be different), but at least it'll relate to the actual house that you're buying. That's probably more use than anything that a random stranger - probably in a completely different part of the country from you - can say.
