electricity costs?
Can anyone please tell me how much per unit for electricty.
Would it be more economical to change my underfloor heating to electric boiler rather than gas bottles?
I used three small ones over about three days...there must be a better way!
Thanks everyone.

Gas is infinitely cheaper than electricity, which has just gone up yet again by 10%. Cant you get some of those bigger gas bottles??

Re: electricity costs?
Are they cheaper than the small ones?
I know I have to get a contract for the bigger ones.

If you are keeping your house indefinatley go for oil fired central heating , expensive to install but cheapest in the long run.

But then I would need another boiler and a tank, I have that in the UK.
It costs a fortune for the oil anyway, I am in the UK more than Spain.

Out of interest, I have one small gas bottle in a portable heater thing and so far I'm still only on my second one since.......... well since it turned colder in October! We do occasionally use a couple of oil filled radiators, but not often

hahaha....well my son was trying it out for us and he did say it was a very hot
floor, so to be fair we're not sure yet how much it will use. l do have solar as well, but it appears not to work if l don't have the gas boiler on or it's run out of gas, it turns off, have got some figuring out to do!
