Great ill do that, thanks again for all your help!

so the bottom line is im not actually using less gas with this system? Just a warmer house? I thought condensing boilers were more efficient? Oh well i suppose i need to check the amount of gas used compared to the same quarter last year eh? Thanks anyway for your help all!
