Just to put a little closure on this and admit some Human Factors error on my part. In short the opening reading on the bill was not what is supplied and in fact 1200 units less than its actual value was photographed by me. I had supplied the readings myself so incorrectly assumed they were...

Yeah GB Energy is charging me 2.5p per unit. So from 2230 to 0630 it's used 3cuM of Gas. I've instigated three check reads now. When I get up, when I get in from work and when I go to bed. That should give me an idea of the usage around the clock. I'm getting more and more convinced it's...

Nope no water meter. Nope not reading past the fifth digit. 27844 Agreed using 20m3 a day

Yeah it doesn't "feel" like its on that much! I've heard it come on three times since getting home at 1800 and each time was for about five minutes with around another five minutes of boiler burn (I assume to top up the thermal store?). It's not set to the clock (I think that is broken as it...

I've looked at my boiler spec and it's a 17.4kw input. Am I right in saying then it will use 17.4kw per hour (ignoring the specific calorific value of the supplying gas). Based on that and the 19000kwh usage, I could calculate that during the 88 days, ignoring use of the hob (the only other...

It's used 19000kw since October! Not per annum. My current tariff is very good with GB Energy (Coop). Although as said 19850kwh was expected for the year not in the last 88 days!

Yes, it's analogue job

The CH stat? Old analogue job that's probably 3degC out. We run cold though. I bought lots of little digital thermometers and have put them round the house. At the moment it's mostly 16 apart from my sons little nursery at 18.

Hi Jon I'll check that out for gas rating. The only other gas powered item is the cooker hob. In terms of leaky gas pipe, the meter stays put when everything is off but spools up rapid when the CH fires. Thanks both

No it's metric meter and metric reads and billing. I'd thought it could be but unfortunately not.

First post here and I'm more use to working on aircraft than CH systems so be gentle. Moved into a house in September and since 14th October until today I've used 1770m3 of Gas. Basically my suppliers expected quota for the year! that's 19000kwh! It's a four bed detached whimpey home, ten...
