Electric heating only flat

Newbie_John said:Consider smart tarriffs like Good Energy EV tarrif with 6p (quarter the standard rate) between 0-5am to charge storage heaters. It will make your heating costs similar to gas. £2-£3k for storage heaters it's a 1% cost of the flat - and makes it much easier for future buyers if you wish to sell.
We live in 3 bed detached house which is electric only, bills are £100 in winter, £50 in summer. It all can be done cheap - so I wouldn't worry much.
No gas also means £200ish less a year on standing charges..The 6.6p/kWh rate is great but the 30.83p/kWh rate from 0500 to midnight is a bit on the high sideHowever, the OP would be able to switch to a cheaper Good Energy tariff in the summer with no exit fee.0
