Hi guys,
I'm finding gas expensive right now... (who isn't?)
I'm in a small, loft insulated, detached cottage, with double glazing on many windows. I have a back boiler (Baxi Bermuda) at about the lowest setting. It's used for 2 hrs a day max. The thermostat is in living room and is set at 18C. The radiators in kitchen and bathroom are turned down so those rooms are cooler. Typically using the hob for half an hour on an evening, low setting.
I've been tracking the usage (I have a meter) and despite what seems like moderate use (just sufficient to avoid wearing *two* jumpers!), it's costing £3+/day..
Does that sound like a lot?? It does to me.
Perhaps counterintuitively.. I'm wondering if the boiler would work more efficiently if used for shorter periods at a higher setting? Any other suggestions please?
