I have a pay as you go meter for British gas. Does anyone know how much it would cost in the winter for having the heating on 24/7. just trying to work out my budget.
I have 4 large radiators and one small one.

    How many Kwh did you use last year?

    Your question is impossible to answer, because it depends on so many variables-efficiency of the boiler, size of the property, amount of insulation, the ambient temperature...
    If you work out your annual kWh consumption, you can easily calcuate the ongoing costs.

    Your bill should tell you how much you have used, why not ring up your supplier and ask them.

    Why would you want to be running your heating 24/7.

    I'm retired but only use it for a couple of hours in the morning and around 4 hours in the evening.

    We have to deal in Kwh as the price per unit varies between suppliers.
