Converting from gas to electric centre heating, yay or nay?
Nay.
Thought about this when renovating the kitchen and changing boiler, plumbing, etc.
Electric boilers are still unwieldy, more expensive to run, less efficient, longer to heat up, etc.
We're pretty much at the peak of efficiency on gas, and it's probably a decade or so until major leaps in electric boilers get to a sweet spot on price and efficiency.
Like many other green tech at the moment, let someone else be an early adopter and if you can survive with what you've got then great otherwise buy what sees you through rather than the very best.

My girlfriend seemed to be dead against electric, thinking they’re ineffective and said it will decrease the house value.
I’m aware it’s not 100% green depending on power station, it be nice to have a concrete plan as we are to rip the floorboard out of our 2 bed ground floor late Victorian terrace to insulate it, so might as well look into heating while we’re at it and decommissioned the old gas system.
