[QUOTE="Rich1982, post: 547094, member: 37074"] Thank you for the advice chaps I'm very grateful. Where we live there is no mains gas, so the choices are a little more restricted and each come with their own pros and cons (heating oil / LPG / electric). Oil and LPG both require ordering an storage, but more crucially, unlike mains gas and electricity haven't been on any form of price cap. It's not really an eco decision, more around practically and governments and parites of all flavours seem fairly set that this is the way things are going. The water question is a very interesting one that's been raised. I'd understood on-demand electric heating was considered much more efficient? Whilst it's high draw in the moment of being heated, you're not heating water in a big tank and keeping it on the boil for 24hrs say just to have a 5 minute shower (I'm aware that it's not kept literally boiling, but at 50 degrees or whatever it is). Is that incorrect?? Rich [/QUOTE]
