Gas bill would actually go down, of course. Proof that the system is
efficient, "new boilerless central heating system saves you space and cuts
your gas bill 80% - with no irritating pluming!".

And if BG are selling you electricity as well they get extra income from
that.

A win, win, win situation as someone might say.
