I would consider purchasing an electric boiler if the average operating cost was significantly lower. Eventually this will make sense, but it’s not something that will happen in my neck of the woods in the next 20 years.

Here in Flanders (60% of Belgium in terms of population) that is not an option. No more pure natural gas heating allowed in new construction from 2023. Gas/heat pump hybrids can still be installed until 2025, but that's it.

It's more strict for oil based heating. Even replacing an existing system is not allowed anymore from 2022.

With fixed 24/7 electric rates, it will never happen.

Are these fixed in Europe? What about night/day meters?

Night/day meters are not granular enough.
