My heating is on 24/7.

I very much doubt it is RUNNING 24/7.... even if selected on .... mine is "on" 24/7 at the moment, but with thermostatic radiator valves in every room, and a well calibrated, well positioned house thermostat, decent insulation, plus keeping internal doors closed, once "on temperature" the boiler cuts in very infrequently as all it is doing is "topping up" any losses. I actually did the full test a year back where I compared 24/7 running with the sort of time scales Tunnie mentioned, the boiler actually runs LESS on 24/7 than it does on timed heating as the house cools down a lot more when the timer is off, so the house structure has to be reheated. .....   

WOW ! I'm impressed

So, not just it's cold so turn "on". It's not cold so do not turn "on"

You are not comparing the same thing....

Some peeps are quoting per month payments, some actual bills.....

My heating is on from 5am to 7am and then 4pm till I go to bed.....except Sunday ... 6am to 12am, then 4pm till......

I pay £40/month, but my last recent bill for 3 months was nearly £200 (£55 leccy/£140 gas) .....

Obviously my monthly payment is lower than what I have used in the last 3 months....and will be lower for the next 3 months as well...but over the summertime it will even up

You need to live in a stone house. They don't warm up, even in summer.



ROG! Tell him.

"You need to live in a stone house. They don't warm up, even in summer. "


They don't, they really don't. If it gets really hot in summer we just go inside, better than Air Con

What a bunch of nancy boys.

If it gets a little chilly put another jumper on.

For cold legs shrug on a pair of women's stockings.......like TB.

I think you missed my point.....

I was trying to point out that peeps wernt comparing like for like...... 

And btw I don't live in a modern house.....its about 100yrs old....but I must admit its not made of stone....they had invented bricks a hundred years ago where I lives

No, you're missing the point. You pay less in summer because your house gets warm. Ours don't.

[TD]

No, your definitely missing the point.....I'm NOT saying peeps are paying more or less because of how their house is built....

Some peeps were quoting per month payments and some were quoting quarterly bills.....totally different....and nothing to do with how their house is built....

For example Rog said his was £650 for 3 months.....so I assume a 3 month bill....tunnie said his was £75/ month....so I assume a monthly DD of £75.....you carnt compare apples with oranges 

[STEMO]

No, you're missing the point, because...........you just are
