Hello

It's got quite cold again, so I'm curious about how many hours you have your heat on.

Thanks

Fiona

    perhaps about 1 to 2 hrs in the evening depending on what time we get home at. The timer function is "off" so lust boosting it manually.

    I think this time last year we had stopped using it completley and just boiled kettle or used immersion for hot water. I see 900l of oil is now about £550! :(

    too many- its on all the time at the minute - although we are living on a building site in a mobile home, so it doesn't retain any heat!

    Ours is set so it comes on if the house temp falls below 17 so not often.
