June to August the central heating will not be on. The run from the hot water tank to the hot taps is so long and poorly insulated that you can die of boredom waiting for hot water to come through so we don't use the hot water tank much, and don't heat it at all in the summer. [Due to be replaced by a combi and the number of things to do higher up the list than lifting all the carpets and floorboards to insulate the hot water pipes is quite large.]
So assuming we aren't going to fire up the boiler for 2-3 months, is it worth turning off the pilot light? Will it save much gas? Are we likely to have problems relighting in 3 months time? [On the basis that things that are designed to be on all the time sometimes get grumpy if they are turned off.]
Cheers
