I'm wondering whether I should fork out for gas central heating in my new

Not likely. Electric is 3x 4x as expensive and that gap will not be
closed for the lifetime of any current type of gas/electric system.


Especially given that, for the next decade at least, most of the UK's
electricity will be generated by burning gas.
