Gas bill doubled - why?

energysavingexp

i agree with macman people have been having babies for thousands of years prior to central heating
i (one of 4) was born in the early 60s with no heating at all and single glassing ice on the inside of the windows ect and we survived babies born in cold countries also survive.
people are far to soft these days if your cold put on more clothes.

Just saying..

In fact three threads on the same subject!

We never had the heating on overnight when we had babies. We were always told it's more dangerous for babies to get too hot than too cold...

If the heating's been on all day it's not going to get that cold at night anyway. Pipes won't freeze unless you leave the heating off for several days when the temperature is below freezing.

Your bill has only doubled. You are lucky. My base usage is about 20kWh per week. Now it's 5 times that at about 100kWh per week and when it gets really bitterly cold my bill is about 7 times the summer bill peaking at 150kWh per week...and this is just top-up heating.
