    Are you guys separating out gas solely for heating or is there hot water and cooking in there as well ?

    We don't have our heating on yet and have been averaging about 66kwh per week, about £7 per week , for hot water and cooking through a combi boiler.

    I reckon an hour of my heating costs no more than 15p because I have the temperature on my boiler set at 40 degrees for heating water going to the radiators. Last winter I was using around £2.50 per day on heating but the temperature on the boiler was set higher 
    Your heating costs could be significantly more than last year then, when it was set higher.
