Changing from oil to gas central heating.
Hi all, First off, I apologise if there are several topics on this. I’m not a frequent MSE website user. Due to varying factors, we may have to look at switching our central heating from oil to gas.

Economy 7
Can anyone please help me to understand how you set a 'timed' metre. I dont use a lot of water as my shower heats up the water as does my washing machine, i think! If I just use the 'boost' button on the metre every day for an hour will the water in the tank be safe from leigionella? or do you have to heat it up all night…

Would be grateful for advice on the best way to manage the above. At present I have a multifuel stove which doesn't do rads or water but I also have oil central heating (and an immersion heater). The house I'm moving to (rented) has just a multifuel stove for water and heating (plus immersion). So if I come home after a…

Shell Energy ... unimpressed so far
Started a switch at the weekend as they seemed best from the Cheap Energy club.Monday, I got an email from them confirming my expected annual cost would be £255, but when I went into the account they said they were going to be taking £30 per month to cover this.
