Who is responsible for removing your gas meter?

Did you scoot off never to return?

Lots of questions such as why do you want to remove your gas supply 

Lol, sorry I actually forgot I posted this question 🤦‍♂️

The only thing we have on gas is the combi boiler which due to the insane previous owner is located in an outside cupboard, so whenever the temp drops below freezing, the boiler is on PERMANENTLY! - so we really needed a new boiler anyway, this way we get rid of the standing charge for gas and as the boiler for the hot water is a new heat gel tech that can heat 200 litres of water (or go 10 days) without having to recharge, it WILL be cheaper than using a gas boiler! 😎

I was actually just posting the question to see if we were being diddled by SP, or are we just unlucky to be with the wrong company! 🤔 

I am intrigued got any links to the replacement all electric heat gel system. We have a heat pump but always looking at what may be next👍👍

I'd suggest you get your boiler moved indoors and keep away from fancy new systems until they have been tried and tested.

Sounds like your frost stat is not set up correctly.  If it's monitoring the shed's air temperature and heat leakage from the boiler isn't sufficient to keep the shed above freezing, the frost stat will keep calling for heat and the boiler will remain switched on.

If so, the answer is not to change the boiler but to make sure that the frost stat monitors the water temperature, fires up the boiler and pump if it drops too low, and switches the boiler off after a few minutes when the water in the shed has returned to a safe temperature.

If you use electricity at four times the price to power your magic gel device it will be ruinously expensive.  You can't get out more energy than you put in (except in the unlikely event that it includes a heatpump), so the electricity kWh will be about four times the cost of the equivalent gas kWh.

By going all-electric with an unaffordable heating system, you're also likely to make your property unsaleable, especially if it's not then possible to get a gas supply restored.

As a comparison, if you tweaked your car to run only on 10-star petrol costing £6.50/litre, do you think you'd ever find a buyer for it?
