Cooking Gas vs Electricty

Hey Alice

It would all depend on how much cooking you did? I myself in the summer, I tend to eat more salads than a full hearty cooked meal. Also there is just the 2 of us, no children.

I am trying to say unless you are cooking 5 course meals every day, I don't think it would really hit your pocket.

Can you at a later date change over to gas? That might be an option if you really like the property.

I've noticed you are from England, I have an old school friend living out there. I hear it really is quite nice.

Hi! Thanks for your message.
We cook a lot, but usually pasta and fish etc but definitely not 5 course meals! Yes I imagine in the summer we wouldn't cook huge hearty meals so that's something.
I don't know if we can change to gas, I guess it's worth asking!
The apartment also has a hot tub on the roof so I'm also concerned that might eat into our bills, though I don't think we would use it THAT often!

We are from London. Have lived in the uk for 20 years and before that I lived in Malta though I'm not Maltese. Feels good to be "home" though we've only been here for 2 weeks so far!
Love the uk but fancied a change. It's so so expensive living in London these days and you don't get much for your money!

I can't say I miss the UK or in fact can really say I loved the place on a whole. Not since I've moved away and experienced life in a completely different world [Austria]

I was born in Rugby but lived all over the UK, working in the hospitality industry, you are right the cost of living is just silly. I don't know how anyone can live and have a relaxed life.

The next 2 years will be fun for us regarding Brexit as no one knows what happening. Oh well, I doubt they will be evicting everyone.

I moved from a house with gas cooking to electric, and bills don't seem very different. Be sure to get the resident electric tariff. I only use gas for heating in winter, having to be always dependant on the gas lorry, running out of gas cylinders in bad moments, I don´t think it pays for the small savings.

i use electric hob and my bills arent expensive ..

Although I was used to electric cooking, I've learned the advantages of a gas hob/oven.
I'm not cooking a lot, therefore changing the gas cylinder 2 times a year is not a big deal.
However, for heating I prefer electric gadgets and comparing 2 years heating with gas and 2 years with electricity does not make a big difference from the costs, but electric heaters (esp. air conditioners) are much easier to handle and make a better room climate.
