Question

What should come before any fuel switch?

Answer

Efficiency. Every MWh you stop wasting shrinks the new boiler/heat pump you must buy. Insulation, steam and heat-recovery practices (the rest of this hub) cut the required capacity of ANY future fuel route by 10–20% — the cheapest part of the transition.
