Oil is much, much cheaper than electricity. Don't even consider electric
heating if you have oil.

About the only way to get a sensible price using leccky is with a heat
pump aircon unit. That way you can dump 4kW of heat into the room for
1kW worth of electricity.


Why is this? I had assumed they'd be less efficent at heating than a
traditional heating element.
