I do not know if this has been posted, but if not here are the effceincy results for 60 boilers in peoples actual homes.
Some myth busters in here.
So you think your combi is 95%, well in actual usage it could be as low as 17%.
Think that you hae a well insulated tank and that is good, then think again - depends on how much water you draw but could be lower than combis.
Also there are lots of nice gas usage charts for people that have the CH coming on at set times during the day and people that leave the CH on from dawn to dusk.
Christmas come early for the boiler boffins on here.
