497975 2007-12-26 23:03:00 Where are you? Isn't there a gas line in your street/town?
Here in Wanganui electric is 21c/unit & gas equivalent is 14c/unit, )approx). PJ.

We do have a gas line here, but it'll cost several thousand dollars to get it hooked up. We were thinking of going with the Homepack option instead, as it would be less hassle - just wanted to see what people though of it before we get a quote.

I thought the same until I saw the post date. However it did remind me to make a call.

I've just been speaking to GF on the phone and he is cheerful and as witty as ever. Things are pretty tough for him at the moment as many of you know but he is disamingly courageous about it. The chemotherapy is continuing which is positive because it is doing some good.

That's really good to hear. Hopefully he'll be back to good health in no time..

497981 2007-12-27 20:17:00 Unless you calculate any negation of storage hot water losses against the instant califont type gas heater, the savings in power bills will be about the same as the cost of gas.

The cost per delivered kWh effective heat will usually be about the same, but may be inceased by any bottle rental costs, or such costs may bring about the parity with electricity.

It is perhaps not coincidental the the final cost per kWh delivered is similar between the two. The gas companies are largely owned by the electricity retailers, or closely aligned.

However for cooking, gas is much more instant and I personally prefer it. But cooking is not a major user of either fuel anyway.
Good to see you are still with us.
Wondered what to do if battery problem arose.
