But the same is true of gas, and in the UK at least they cost about the same per kWh of output heat (electricity is more expensive, but this is balanced out by the higher efficiency of the heat pump)
- sgt101 2y agoI think that this is a new(ish) thing though. When the UK was pulling gas out of the Irish Sea and the North Sea for domestic heating gas was much much cheaper than electricity. Then gas started being used at scale for electricity generation (the so called dash for gas). Then we moved to just in time import gas and things got very expensive. So - things have changed.
