I have just had a new extractor fitted by an electrical contractor hired by our housing association.

It is an envirovent filterless infinity Fan SELV and is brilliant, and British made.

It runs slowly all the time in a trickle mode, then increases steadily, automatically, as the humidity in the bathroom increases.  Once the humidity is down to normal levels, it goes back to a steady trickle of extraction.  It uses 50 times less power than a 100w light bulb, equalling £2.41 per year (at average cost of electric) on trickle, and this increases to just £3.18 per year when on boost mode for 2 hours, and trickle for 22 hours, per day.

Our local Borough Council is also fitting them in their properties.

That would be about 2w, according to my calculations. 

Give that man a coconut!

That is exactly what envirovent state in their installation guide

Heating?!!   Eee by gum!  It's only November.  The heating is only on for a few weeks every winter when it gets proper cold.  Positive outside temperatures are not cold in the house.

[STEMO]

Yes..but the £2.41pa is bollix. 2w per hour is 1.752Kwh per annum, or about 50p. They can't possibly know how many baths/showers you will take in a year and, therefore, how often it will be running at a higher speed.
Probably still very cheap, but I'm a pedantic bastard.

Ask Rog about stone built houses. Ours is only stone at the front and is still cold in July.

New build.  Lots of insulation to the point it is was unbareable this past summer and the fridge freezer was working it's whatsits off trying to keep cool.  If we have anouther summer like that I may need to fit external window shutters.

eh?

2w x 24 hours  = 0.05 Kilowatts hours used per day = 0.80p per day = 17.52 KWh's for year = £2.93 (at the highest cost for me of  £16.75 per kWh;)

Methinks I got a decimal point in the wrong place. It is, indeed, 17.5 KWh per annum.

But.......I think you'll find you pay 16.75p per KWh, not £16.75.

Perhaps not at the moment, but just you wait until next April

Is that when they put a customs check point on the France-Uk Inter-connectors?

FTFY Mr DTM.

If they wire their houses any where near as bad as their cars 
I imagine they do toast round an open fire
