Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help....
I live with my parter in a 3 bed, small detatched house. There's just the two of us living here.
We are currently using about 26,000 kWh of gas every year and 1900 kWh of electricity. I find that our gas usage is very high.....does it seem high to you?
I'm trying to work out why it is so high.
In our airing cupboard we have the water tank. There's a programmer in there which let's us set the time that our hot water and central heating should come on. I've had this turned off for both for about a month now. However, I've noticed that our water coming out of the taps is still hot and never seems to run cold....
This leads me to believe we are heating our water 24/7 and could be the cause of our high gas usage...but I cannot understand why the hot water is still being heated when I haven't set it to come on. I don't think it can be the emersion heater either as this is electric power right?
Does anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks
