Cost difference between oil and gas heat
Gas is the cheapest way to heat your home. The average UK home uses gas for central heating and spends about £550 each year on space heating alone . Providing the same amount of usable heat with an oil boiler costs about £700 each year. The price of heating oil and the price of gas do not stay static. Various pricing factors can make a big difference in the relative cost of either system. The cost of natural gas has been falling steadily in the US over the past few years while the price of oil has risen sharply and dropped dramatically several times so far this century.
