  • I'm not totally clear, are you thinking about replacing your gas boiler with an electric one, or are you thinkingi about replacing your radiators with electric heaters?

  • Converting to electric centre heating from gas centre heating.

    Best to leave it now then, we’ll try and insulate the floor without causing further damp.

  • I'm also planning on insulating under the ground floor but not going to change the gas central heating. Long term plan is to get the fabric of the house up to spec (insulation and air tightness) then eventually look into MVHR system, potentially air source heat pump.

  • If you want to make it more efficient add some TRVs (maybe smart ones if you think they're worth the cost). Gas will still be a solution for quite a while, particularly in places like flats converted from houses.

    I definitely wouldn't be ripping out gas heating unless it was for other reasons (e.g. aesthetics).

    Personally I'd value a place with electric heating lower than somewhere with gas. I don't know if things have moved on in the past 10 years but previous places with electric heating have been a hassle.
