Hi Folks
Hopefully you can advise if the following sounds right, have an old Potterton Profile Boiler gas system powers heating and hotwater 3 bed terrace with 10 Rads no other gas appliances in the house and most up to date meter
Over the last 7 weeks seem to have used 345 units of gas, insulation good 10 rads in the house and a working couple so heating only on for 5 hours a day max, more at weekends (most of the day) the temperature on the water tank has been on the highest setting (now turned it down) so I approximate that to 6.16 units a day.
Seems high to me but only with the extreme cold weather we have had that I have started to take any notice. I suppose I should put it down to the extreme weather but if anybody has any views if this sounds right it would be appreciated. I should also point out that there is no stat in the house or TRVS but the boiler does automatically cut out when at temperature which has not been too often in recent months
Many Thanks
