Yes folks, its cheaper to heat with electricity!
Apropos of something else, I was moved to research my energy costs.
Night time electricity is currently 4.85p per Kwh. Oil is a staggering 54p a liter. Oil energy density is 37.5MJ /liter. Which with a 100% efficient boiler is still 5.184p per Kwh. Does anyone make electrical central heating boilers? I have UFH, which is tantamount to a big ****-off storage radiator anyway ! ;-) If my existing boiler was as low as 50% efficient (its non condensing oil boiler) I might expect electricity to be cheaper in the daytime a well. Thank god for nookoleer powah! |
