I've checked the severn…

Cheapest way to run an unvented cylinder
We had an unvented cylinder fitted last year (a hot water tank). We currently heat our hot water on a timer, but I've heard that it may be cheaper to keep the hot water on 24/7. Does anyone know whether this is right? Thanks

Save money on surface water charges
This potential saving only applies to metered customers.
