Question: is gas cheaper than electric?
Answer: Is it cheaper to heat my home with gas or electricity? ... To buy one unit of mains gas (measured in kWh) you will pay about 4p / kWh. Conversely, one unit of electricity from the mains (also measure in kWh) will cost you about 15p/kWh. This means that gas is about 3-4 times cheaper than electricity per kWh.
