Why is gas heating so much cheaper than electric?

November 18, 2019 by Tessa Shepperson

Gas

It seems obvious to me that with the current climate emergency, we need to stop using fossil fuels ASAP and move over to something more environmentally friendly. As heat pumps are apparently not quite up to it yet, that probably means electricity.  Around 30% of our electricity generation is now from wind and other renewable sources. Hopefully, this will be scaled up fairly … [Read more...] about Why is gas heating so much cheaper than electric?

September 14, 2019 by Tessa Shepperson

Kitchen Appliances

Most rented properties include ‘white goods’. Washing machines, ovens, fridges, tumble dryers. They are an essential part of living today. But they can also be a hassle. Appliances break down. Tenants get annoyed. There are arguments about who is responsible and about getting replacements. Wouldn’t it be nice if that was all outsourced? White goods as a service? We have … [Read more...] about A better way to deal with white goods and appliances in rented properties?
