My modernish house 1998 has a baxi boiler (cant remember the model!) for the central heating and an immersion heater for all hot water.
After reveiwing my massive electricity bill I think I need to take action! Currently my immersion heater is switched on permanently, I was led to beleive that this would be cheaper than letting water cool and reheating from cold, if this is not the case then I think I need to add a timer after the isolation switch and before the cylinder.
Is this an easy enough job to do and what timer would the experts reccomend!
On a more drastic level any ideas on a rough cost for the purchase and installation of a basic combi boiler be?
Also my elec meter has five different rates, none of which powergen have been able to accurately describe, if anyone can help I would be very grateful!
Many thanks
