We have a big LPG tank (came with the house, I don't think I'd have
chosen LPG) and a newish boiler but I doubt it's any cheaper than
electricity really.
E7 night 7.69 p/kWhr peak 14.9 p/kWhr. (Bulb Area 16 Norweb as was).
Oil 4.7 p/kWhr (based on the 47p/l that I recently paid and 10
kWhr/l).
Ex VAT.
Oil and bulk LPG are very similar in overall cost at current prices.
Yes, but 100% of those electric kWh will end up heating my water or my
house. Quite a significant percentage of the oil or gas kWh will go
up the chimney (or flue, or whatever). I guess boilers have become
more efficient now though so the balance may have swung more in favour
of gas/oil.
