    Is your heating on 24 hours a day ?
    I would just stop at the day rate.
    Just under £8 per day looks reasonable for the winter months (although just over £2 last year !!)
    Just generally usually on for 2 hours in the morning and approx 3 hours in the evening from Nov - Feb..so not heavy usage...with the odd boost as needed 

    So if you are only heating for 5 hours per day then it is costing you around £1.50 per hour to run the boiler.  That is the problem with trying to figure out an hourly cost as the boiler costs different amounts per hour depending on what it is doing.  Keep it on for longer and it will cost less per hour but will cost more overall.
    Thankyou for helping....its a much better result than my £3 per hour ...lol
