Hi, I know its winter time and time to start complaining of the cost of gas, however....
I just brought a new place with my in-laws to save a few quid on bills etc,
we both lived in semi's with traditional heating systems, not combi's, and our usual consumption over the winter quarter was about 120units each, so I 'm thinking that in our first quarter we should be looking at 240units, bigger house and all that.
Electricity usage is lower than the combined previous so that make sense
I had an interim gas bill and our consumption for 45 days is 744 units (so for this winter quarter that may be around the 1500 unit mark )
the gas meter is in cubic metres
It just seems so excessive
The new place has a potterton 100e combi and about 13rads, system runs on a timer and the boiler thermostat is set just below midway.
Timer is 4hrs in the morning and 4hrs at night.
New place is a bungalow with loft conversion.
We've got an electric shower and we only use the bath very occasionally as we all shower. All other appliances run off cold water feeds. Only other thing is a gas oven.
I've checked the system for leaks, and checked the oven consumption all both ok
Does this seem consumption seem right, what sort of fault if any could be in the boiler?
or should I bump off the in-laws now for the insurance to start paying the gas bill?
Thanks for any advice
