RobNox Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I never usually put the heating on until late Oct / early Nov. It's usually off again before end March, so probably only on for 5 months a year on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a new gas central heating system installed 3 years s. Moths gas bill was £38……last months £29 😁 Chilly where you are in the summer? Heating of from April to October, (East Lothian) getting caught with the standing charge now for not using Gas... £2.36, gas hob only, August statement...

Not particularly cold but it’s an old stone house built in 1930 with good insulation, it’s run as a guest house now and, parts of the house (not in direct sunlight) can feel a bit chilly so we just keep the heating on all the time so guests can adjust their own radiators. With 3 shower rooms, gas central heating and 115 people thought the house in august, a gas bill under £40 is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Had the heating on for 30 minutes the other day, mainly just to check that all the radiators heat up and everything was working ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Heating not on yet, but very soon. It’s definitely getting a lot colder in the evenings now. Just found out that a tradesman who did a job for myself just before the summer had turned off my solar panels by accident. Lost around £1k back to the grid and also had to pay out more too, a double whammy😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshy Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Wood burner has been on in the kitchen which filters some heat through the rest of the house. 2500 litre heating oil tank is full. 10 bags of coal and 22 bags of peat delivered. 2 Sheds full of seasoned wood ready to burn. Moshy towers will be toasty this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Absolutely ****ing not. The hot weather has spoiled us, but it's still more than warm enough in the house. The bedroom was 20.9 degrees this morning when I got up. The boiler is all WiFi and app controlled, so it's still on "Hot Water Only" mode, and it's not going back on to heating mode until I can see my breath in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
