Last time I looked, most estimates put the running cost of electric heating at roughly double that of gas. I don't think electric heating really solves the green issue, I would be looking into air source or ground source (unlikely I guess), if you really wanted to up green credentials.
Yes, it is the installation cost that makes it prohibitive for me. Running costs are less than pure electric though I guess? I looked into combining air source with solar panels & batteries, that seemed to be the most green solution currently, but much £££
