I don`t like being controversial, but have you all considered heat pumps?Compared with merely using electricity to heat a wire, they are up to 300% efficient*. They are not always a simple switch into existing systems, but can be worth the capital investment.
If 100% efficiency is from heating an element, a heat pump can “shift” up to 3 times as much energy.
(like to see this done in imperial measures too!)ASHP ■■? We have one but not by choice !! The only good thing about them is you do not have to keep cleaning them out and chop kindlers to start a good old coal fire like we had before. Running costs are astronomical and dread to think what they will be come the winter months ahead …
I’m not surprised.They work on the principle of more energy out than put in.
The truth is it’s a smoke and mirrors scam to sell all electric heating at 30p per KWH.
Boris has stated that he intends to increase the price of gas to make electric look more attractive.
So he can flog off our gas to the Germans because they won’t go nuclear at any price and the French who are now too scared to switch on their own power stations.The rest goes to developing countries under the Paris Accord stitch up.
