This research doesn't appear to take into account heating water. I am thinking about replacing my old oil central heating system with electric heating but I need to know about hot water for the taps.
Hi there, Thanks for getting in touch. The research for this video was conducted in 2023 - please see our disclaimer in our description. Prices may have changed since this time and as always, costs depend on individual circumstances and property type. We always suggest conducting thorough research before choosing the right heating system for you. Thanks The ERD Team
@@ElectricRadiatorsDirect So rather useless then, as not comparing like for like. A better comparison would be Average UK household heating = 10,000kWh Give a generous Gas and Oil Boiler efficiency of 90%. Air Source Heat Pump SCOP between 3 and 5. Ground Source Heat Pump SCOP between 4 and 6. Price per kWh of Electricity: 24.5p Price per kWh of Gas: 6.04p Price per kWh of Oil: 6p Annual Consumptions: Electric Radiators: 10,000kWh Gas and Oil Boilers: 11,111kWh ASHP: 2000-3333kWh GSHP: 1666-2500kWh Annual cost at price cap: Electric Radiators: £2,450 Gas: £671 Oil: £666 ASHP: £490-£817 GSHP: £408-£612 With the caveat that all electrical based sources can make use of time of use tariffs, solar, and battery storage to save on costs.

How on earth did you get to ground source costing 30% more to run than air source?

electric heating will cause more cancers from higher magnetic fields there by contributing to net zero population reduction
