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?

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

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