Wet electric central heating

  • new to this & not sure where to post this...

    I have a bungalow with a 2 bed dorma on top. 9 rads, 1 bath & 1 shower. Our oil fired combi needs replacing now and the metal oil tank will need it in the next couple of years - also told the pipe feed now needs burying 450mm underground, a run of 20mtrs.
    No water cylinder.
    No mains gas.
    Was intending to get a standard oil boiler + solar cylinder, but now thinking an electric boiler & solar cylinder would be more cost effective.
    Suggestions please thanks

    I live in a stone built mid-terrace three bedroom house and am planning getting central heating installed. I do not have access to mains gas and have decided against oil for a number of reasons including the way the oil price seems to be going. I am considering wet electric central heating run on an Economy 10 tarriff but am struggling to get unbiased info on true running costs, best makes of boilers etc. Most of the info I can glean comes from folk who are trying to sell me their product. Can anyone in MSE-land advise or point me in the right direction.
    Cheers

    yes I have the same experience, Dennis.
