can you not get bottled gas or oil?

Back in the day IIRC the cost for energy used to be (cheapest first):

Mains gas.

Mains electric.

Bulk gas or oil or solid fuel.

Bottled gas.

Wood is a bit of a funny one because it used to be dirt cheap but with
all the trendy wood burners it is now very expensive in most areas.

If the list above is reasonably accurate then electric heating (of
almost any sort) would be cheaper than bottled gas.


I think you have oil in the wrong place

no-one would ever install an oil CH system if electric were cheaper

what would be the point?

Just fond this!

prices
my answer now is get a multi-fuel grate for the wood burner and burn coal
- by far the cheapest fuel.

[Perhaps someone should tell the power generators.] ;-)
