Why so much Gas

[Bambergaspipe]

Totally wasteful and unnecessary.

Thought you and the rest of the Genius` had opted to go to the combustion chamber and swap ingenious and important ideas on combustion and gas practices that the general public cannot be privvy to, looks like you are slowly coming to the realisiation, that your Ego`s will be more catered to on this, the DIY Forum.....

 

[Dan Robinson]

rest of the Genius`

Should be "geniuses" genius.

 

[Agile]

Can we do this on a separate thread.

Arguing on a technical point is one thing, but point scoring on such a topic is just pointless and possibly irresponsible.

Did they teach you that repetition on your English course?

Look it up No such word, may be an idea to practice your English Literature before opening your uneducated mouth..

 

[Dan Robinson]

Literature has naff all to do with it. Geniuses or genii is a matter for debate, your use of apostrophes is not.

Do you ever tire of making a fool of yourself?

As posted before its the same set up as my own house I have room stats in each main room set at a temperature say 18.

So theoretically the boiler will not come on until one of the rooms falls below that temperature ( i think at night the temp set on stats drops 2 degrees).

And My bill is about £500 a year for a 4 bed 2300sq f ish house so not too bad at all. And we have built about 6 houses this way over the last 4 years and all clients say how good and cheap the underfloor heating is.

This new house with this ferolli boiler seems to be using too much gas as its used £400 over two mounths already.

I just wanted to know if there could be a problem with new boilers using too much that somone may of come across.

 

[Agile]

There is no way that any boiler can use say five times the normal consumption. It would start to melt!

You can do a check on the actual gas comsumption of the boiler.

Let the heating cool down for a few hours and then turn on the boiler and note the exact start and end meter readings at an interval of two minutes if its a metric meter.

If its an imperial meter then time the seconds for the red pointer to do one revolution.

It sounds as if you have given them a figure which is ten times the actual consumption.

Perhaps you told them it was 750 units when it was 750 cu ft ?

[Scargill]

Might be Agile we just gave them the reding on the meter which was something like 00750.

Out of interest how many new meters are metric and how many imperial thought they would all be metric by now.

 

[Agile]

Thats an interesting question!

I would have expected that all new meters would be metric but I dont think thats the case!

The Imperial ones are probably cheaper!

No such word

From Concise Oxford Dictionary:

genius

• noun (pl. geniuses)
1 exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability.
2 an exceptionally intelligent or able person.

3 (pl. genii) (in some mythologies) a spirit associated with a person, place, or institution.
4 the prevalent character or spirit of a nation, period, etc.

So both plural spellings exist; which one you use depends on the context.

Of course, if you think you know better, you can always apply for the job of the resident expert in Dictionary Corner on Countdown.
