Elec is 4 : 3 (jan : jul)
Gas is 33 : 1 (where there is a unit used)
Gas was switched off in summer but Jan has accounted for around 30 % for the last 12 months.0 -
Wow 33:1 is a huge ratio. You must use absolutely nothing in summer. My summer usage is just for heating water and the pilot light on my boiler - about 6 quid a month.0
