The changeover was part of some other work we had done, but the gas boiler sells for just over €200 in Leroy Merlin.
We had the changeover done quite soon after buying the property, so don't really have a proper comparison of before and after costs.
For us the main advantage is hot water whenever we want it. If 4 people wanted to take showers before, the hot water would run out part way through and we'd have to wait for it to heat-up again. Now we get the hot water we need when we need it, without having the cost of heating water unnecessarily.
We also achieved a considerable space saving. The old 80L electric boiler was on the wall in a utility room and took-up a lot of space. The new boiler is in roughly the same place and is very slim, so we now have space to put a tumble drier on top of the washing machine in the same room.
