Cheaper Electric Cheaper Electricity Bills

Apartments are cheaper because not all of your walls are exposed to the outside so cooling and heating remain in longer. An all electric apartment will run you from 40 to 100 a month, with the lower figure for the months when you do not need much a/c or heat, the higher figures when you are running the a/c or heat. Many utility companies will give you the exact information for how much the utilities were from that unit in the last year.

I live in Essex, near East London (Greater London). What is cheaper, heating one room with a gas central heating or with an electric fan heater?

it would deffernetly be the gas as the cheaper option, i know 40% of power stations in britain use gas as a fuel to produce electricity. per unit, gas is a lot cheaper than electric.

So…if just for the argument solar cells turn to be a cheaper solution for your housing electricity needs – would you buy it? Basically, i think this would be a great business idea – to a point where it’s almost idiotic to even ask such a question . But am I right? Perhaps people don’t want "ugly" solar cells and prefer to pay higher electricity bills instead?

100% I would. I have a friend who installs that and he is looking to start his own company doing that. I would jump all over it, but the costs are huge. I know that in 10 to 15 years it would pay itself off, but I dont have the cash plus, I am not sure if I will be in my house that long.

The avg person use to move every 5 years. I know that has probably changed, but I think that most still think that they might move in the near future, so making an investment like that might not make the most sense.
