Hey folks,
We moved into a new (old) place about 5 months ago. It has a Worcester 37CDi combi boiler but with very old rads (which are soon to be replaced).
I just got my gas bill from 20 Dec - 12 Feb, 54 days and it's £406!! The average use is 200kWh/day.
Now the house is pretty poorly insulated - solid walls and not much in the loft (loft is being done).
My wife and 2 girls are at home all day so the heating is pretty much constantly on from 5AM - 11PM. At the moment we can't let the temp go below 18 at night because it will never get back up to 21 the next day.
It's obvious that I need more insulation - just wondered what others thought who live in similar houses - is this excessive or about right?
