10311 LPG versus Electricity

I know this subject has been covered before, but could anybody let me know the comparison costs right now between LPG and Electricity? Does the cost of installing tank etc., outweight the costs of Electricity - if only in the short term? This will help us with the continuing saga of Underfloor Heating - which we hope to resolve on our visit to Italy next week. AND PLEASE LET THE SUN STAY OUT - it's raining like Noahs flood here today.

Don't know the price of lpg at the moment, but attached is the Enel tarriff. Hope you are not thinking of electric underfloor heating.

Thanks Geotherm, that was quick. Will study later. No, warm water is what we want, using Solar and either lpg or electricity. We have found a system that we like here in the U K but are hoping to find something suitable in Italy. It seems to be a bit more of a problem where we are based, near Bagni di Lucca - but we continue to investigate.

Thanks again.
