Are electrical combis actually better than gas though? Sure there will be fewer emissions on the edge (the end user house) but it’s not nearly as efficient as a heat pump, which would put pressure on the grid, increasing the need for gas and coal power plants.
I’m wildly speculating here though, I have 0 data to back up this hypothesis.

The efficiency of heat pumps is dependent on the ability of the home to retain that heat. In the UK that’s a huge issue.
But my point was really more that to get to that point (and to install heat pumps) would be ruinously expensive.
