Arf, yesterday I signed up to a website called imeasure, its a great way to kepp a check on your usage.

I actually came on here because I was having a bit of a panic because last night I measured how much gas my heating was using, & in 15mins, we had used 0.6 of a m3. This means 2.4m3 p/h, which seemed like a helluva lot.
We were using 3 units a day, but National Grid came & changed our meter & we now seem to be using more gas, up to 5.5 units.
I have a brand new economical boiler, insulation, the thermostat at 17 degrees & just 5 rads in a 2 bed semi. We only have heating on for about 1.5 hrs a day, plus 2 showers. Does this sound about right?

What size boiler do you have?

The consumption is equivilent to about an 80,000btu boiler which is quite typical.
Fortunately the boiler won't be on 24/7 though.

Thanks for the reply!

It's a Baxi Duo Tec 28he, which apparently means it has a 28kw output, I have no idea how that translates to btus? Am I right in thinking that although it seems like its using alot of gas, it heats up the house quickly, hopefully saving me money??
