    Yes our pump worked fine last night a -4 although the pump did run for long periods of the day but cheap compared with the LPG gas guzzler. Did think about putting stove on but wanted to see how my new toy coped.

    The way thing are looking I will have over two years of wood in the store at present, never mind we are ready for any power cuts.

    If it is still snowing this weekend I am sure the fire will be on, out for a nice walk, back to a warm fire, glass of port, old film on telly feet up, life can not gat any better. ( can not promise to see the end of the movie may just doze off a little)

    ASHP is boring in comparison

    Sounds great!

    Absolutely love hill walks when the weather is like this but working round the clock seven days a week :( so no spare time.

    Yeah ASHPs tends to run continuosly when the weather gets like this.

    Whole house consumption is about £4 a day at the mo :eek:

    Really must insulate the loft properly one day...

    Hi I had a look back my records a couple of years ago during really cold spell in Dec I was paying £11.5 a day for LPG only, over last week paid £5.50 for all heating and lighting and the house is toasty.

    Must get around to post the running costs

    Still agree I intend to put more insulation in loft next summer and get some of it floored for storage, also started another draft hunt yesterday when the wind was blowing, found another I will hunt them all down
