One factor that will influence the cost of the gas heater removal, for example, is the type of heaters and boiler that you have installed and how complex the removal is going to be. Access is also worth considering here. If the access is complicated, it means that further equipment, such as lifting aids, may be needed, or more time, and this can be more costly than a simple to access heaters and boiler.

You also need to consider how much work needs to be done in terms of the pipework removal. If there is lots of pipework to access this might take longer and incur more cost.

Of course, the installation of a new heating system will be factored in. luckily, if you decide to go for electric heaters, the installation is a lot easier and more straightforward, and so this will not be as expensive when compared with some other solutions.

Changing from gas to electric

A lot of homeowners decide to make the switch from gas to electric, and one of the reasons for this is because electric heating is efficient, environmentally friendly, safer and low in maintenance. In most scenarios, running an all electric heating system can be comparable on running costs with running a gas heating system.

There are some other reasons why you should consider electric heating from a price point of view as well. For example, you can save money with electric heating because of the fact that it is low maintenance. A Gas Safe engineer would need to come to your home once per year for an annual service, which tends to cost around £100. However, you do not have to pay this fee if you have an electric radiator, as this sort of service is not required. This is because there is no risk of a carbon monoxide leak nor is there any pipework to worry about either. You will also not require boiler breakdown insurance or suffer from any leaks.

Electric heaters also come with great smart home compatibility options, and you can also make the most of zoning to heat your entire house effectively. When you take all of this into consideration, it is not hard to understand why switching from gas to electric is such a good choice.
