Should I fork out to cut costs (new radiators and pipe work)?
Good morning, all. Our gas bill, like many other people's, is not what we'd like. I'm not saying that we do everything we possibly can to keep it low, but we do try and keep it as low as we can. The only thing we can think left to try and reduce costs is to look at the system. We have a newish condensor boiler, but really…

How to measure electricity consumption without a monitor
Hi, Recently I thought of measuring the amount of electricity my dryer consumes and I thought of simply turning it on for a minute and see the change in the meter. But I stood there for 5 minutes and it never changed. I assume that the refresh rate of the reading is more than 5 minutes. Now I cant think of any other way of…
