UK to phase out gas heating in new homes by 2025: Electricity is about five times the cost of gas, so that's going to be painful for some.
(tags:gas heating uk globalwarming )

when looking at flats to buy, i've always immediately dismissed any that had electric heating, because it's so expensive to run.

i'm sure in some utopia where housing is well insulated it's not so bad, but this is britain where the housing is made of dried dog shit.

I had storage heaters / hot water on White Meter (overnight cheap rate) all my life in the UK. None of the places were especially well insulated. None had double glazing. Last bills I had for a 44sqm all-electric flat were about GBP 1700 / yr (2014-15). That is ALL heating, lighting, etc. etc. Don't know how it is now or how it compares with gas...

I'm currently paying £768 per year.

So under half.

Electricity is over double the cost per kWh of gas.
