Got the letter last night saying that my LPG is going up again, so I'm going to buy a fireguard, get the chimney swept and start burning old pallets in the fireplace in the front room for warmth, but I still need to get my water warm somehow.
Given that I have a fairly old Vaillant 828, does anyone have any view on whether or not it would just be cheaper to stick a timer on my immersion heater, or is that still going to be much more expensive. Or will (shudder) replacing my boiler with a more efficient one pay for itself in a reasonable timeframe (I looked into solar, but the payback is about 10-15 years, form what I can see)
