    How long will you have the boiler on for?

    A couple of hours for hot water?

    Heating, twice a day, all day?

    What temperature will you set the thermostat?

    How long is a piece of string? :confused:

    £436 over a 28 day month, assuming its on 24 hours a day, you have no thermostat and electricity is 13p/unit.
    As above a few more details would help.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Depends how much heat your home loses at a given temperature. It has nothing to do with the rating of the boiler (unless the boiler is too small to heat the building).
