oil or gas installation

sipherlucian

Hi I have a home currently heated by a back boiler stove, when we bought it the oil boiler packed in, it was in the driveway about 40 feet from the house and a lot of the heating was being lost before it got to the house.
I planned on getting a duel heating system in again but im having an issue with choice...

1. is there much of a cost difference between or or gas?
2.we cant get gas from the mains, they wont run a pipe up to my house so we would have to get a tank, preferably underground, ive seen these tanks on a calor gas ad?
3. if we got the tank underground are calor the only main supplier, does bord gais not supply that way, is it more expensive getting a delivery of gas as opposed to the main lines.

Id really appreciate peoples advice regarding this, thanks a lot

If you can't have natural gas then oil by a good margin. See:

I couldn't access the SEAI website. I think those figures are the same.

For security of supply and price I would go with oil.

oil is a good back up.

gas you have the cost of tie into mains unless supplier does a deal for free connection
