Electric oil heater vs gas central heating

    I live in a one bedroom apartment with a gas central heater boiler. I saw recently that lidl have a sale on portable oil heaters (around 40 euros).
    My monthly gas bill is around 40 euros with bord gais level pay. My electric bill is with electric ireland.
    Would I be better off paying for an electric oil heater to heat 3 rooms (bedroom, living room and bathroom). Or should I stick to gas central heating ?
    Thanks.

    Electric heating on the regular tariff (i.e. not using cheap night time juice with storage heaters) is the most expensive. Stick to gas.
