Cum e mai ieftin să îți încălzești casa: electric sau cu gaze? Diferența poate fi și de 4 ori mai mare • Newsweek România

Heating a home with gas is generally cheaper than using electricity, especially with modern gas boilers. However, heat pumps can significantly alter this comparison by providing more heat per unit of electricity consumed. In Romania, gas prices remain lower than electricity, with costs for gas around 0.25 lei/kWh compared to electricity prices that can reach 1.70 lei/kWh. While traditional electric heating can be four to six times more expensive than gas, heat pumps can offer competitive costs if installed in well-insulated homes. The initial investment for heat pumps is higher, but they can be more efficient in the long run, especially when paired with solar panels. Overall, gas heating is currently more economical, but heat pumps present a viable alternative under certain conditions.
