    In general I'd say Dad's right. Gas is more economical for heating, cooking etc. But when it comes to heating water and using night rate electricity I think Electricity might just shade it !

    Filan,

    Gas heating, as in rads is a lot better, gas central heating is a feature of a house or apartment, where as storage heating is considered a bit of a problem, it's more difficult to control then gas. I have gas heating, gas hob and electric oven, but if i had my way again I'd opt for the electric hob

    If she is going to spend a few bob, and is looking for something cheaper, she should look at some of the many eco threads here, consider a solar panel and a wood pellet burner, with grants it might work out only a little dearer, and now is the time to do it.
