    There are other factors you haven't considered -

    What type of boiler do you have, normal or condensing?

    How much washing do you do a week? Do you also heat your hot water with electricity?
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    (If a link I give opens pop ups I won't know I don't use windows)
  • we have a condensing boiler,do about 5 washes a week and heat the hot water through electric.
    actually just looking at the boiler i think it uses electric for the heating as well.
