Bulk LPG - Cheapest suppliers / supply route?
Hi all, Moved into a house in Jan that has a bulk LPG tank, which was previously supplied (and the tank is owned by) Calor. The contract they were really keen for me to sign was quite a restrictive lock in one and after speaking and a bit of negotiating they dropped the standing charge and discounted the pence per litre by…

Installing new oil boiler
My house is not suitable for air source heating due to its age and building style. Have had an engineer out to check. I live very rurally and gas will never reach me and I don't like the idea of calor. So, at present my central heating is powered by woodburning stoves. I am getting old and this is becoming quite…

Beware Boiler Juice
"You pay £286.25" says the email in bold orange type, echoing the heating oil price quoted on Boiler Juice's website quotation a few minutes before. But wait a minute. The website quotes a price of 52.24 per litre. Now my maths can be shaky at times but 500 x 52.24 doesn't make £286. Is it the extra a VAT charge? No. It's…

Can you paint on the reflective foil behind a radiator without materially damaging its effectivenes.
Obviously if you paint on the foil it will no longer reflect light, but will it continue to reflect infrared heat well - even if not quite as well as if it wasn't painted?

Treated wood and chimney
Now I wouldn't do this given I don't fancy poisoning my neighbours, but people obviously do burn treated wood. Also imo, a wood stove is far more of a lifestyle choice if you didn't have it in the house to begin with and it isn't cheap compared to say a heat pump or even gas half the time Would burning treated wood also…

Biomass wood pellets - Have you seen the prices??
I'm shocked at the difference in wood pellets already. A year ago I bought a 65 bag pallet for £260 and now the cheapest I can find is £485. An 86% increase.... It's going to be a damn cold winter....

What are people paying for Kiln Dried Logs?
I've fitted lots of thermostatic valves and a Tado etc last year and managed to get my usage in a old Victorian house down to half of last year. Admittedly the cost stayed the same, which I guess in the circumstances was a result. During the summer we have had a log burner installed and that should help reduce the use of…

We have had endless issues with them since we’ve been renting this property 4 years ago. We will be moving and only just received a completion date so have just informed them. They delivered gas to us in May (that we never requested) and they want us to pay £1k for that gas because they’re not going to take it back from…

Heat Pump alternatives
Would really love some advice as we are really struggling. Moved into our new house a few months ago that has a Biomass pellet boiler. When we bought the house, the boiler was serviced, and the agent and the owners sang the praises of the boiler and how the owners owned a company who installed it and could help us out with…
