What is more eco-friendly for heating?

I’m looking at gas or electricity. Well, my house already has an electric heating system, but there is a chance to replace it, and a lot of people are telling me to go for gas.

Are you only looking at eco-friendliness? As far as I know, gas is kind of a middle option in terms of environmental impact, but at the same time it can be cheaper and more convenient. Also, it really depends on the type of house. City or rural.

I’m leaning toward gas, but gas is not just gas, there are different options. LPG gas from Calor, check more info at the link https://www.calorgas.ie/ here, is considered one of the cleaner fossil fuels and produces lower emissions, while still being a stable and efficient heating source for the home. If the house is in a rural area, this is especially relevant since it works as a full system for heating, hot water, and cooking. For me, gas feels more predictable and balanced. It gives stable heat, independence from the power grid, and overall a moderate carbon footprint.
