    High gas usage for boiler.

    No offence taken! I think your right and The survey will just be to put a final confirmation on it!

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Your synopsis seems sound. I’ve spoke to a thermal imaging and heat efficiency company who really new their stuff and pretty much said their same. They do thermal scans and air tightness test to see where the heat is escaping and advise on the remedial work we could look at - so I’m seriously...

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Very valid point! It could well be!!! And I’ve no real way to prove it now!

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Ok - if that’s in the realms of possibility I guess I can accept that. The only thing in the back of my mind is that my usage for 7 years was static with an average of 8-10000 a year - and now it’s 60000…. Just strange! Apart from an Epc - are there any tests I can have that can pinpoint how...

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Correct me if I’m wrong - but yesterdays usage pretty much shows how much gas the boiler uses to fire up for the HW only (we can see that between 11-1) which looks like .62m3 from 11-11.30 .34m3 from 11.30-12 .05m3 from 12-12.30 0 from 12.30 to 1 (I’m presuming the water was at temperature and...

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Thanks John. Yes yesterday was ok when the heating was not on But the day before was this — which I think shows the boiler was almost flat out the whole day pretty much And this was how it heated the house

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Just to add to the confirmation - here is yesterdays usage. We were all out around 9am - so the heating was disabled - however the hot water still heated 11-1. So this shows that when the heating isn’t on - there is 0 gas usage.

    Sure.it’s to drain the system apparently? Runs off outside?

    High gas usage for boiler.

    I thought hot water has been ruled now out on the basis it’s now only one 2 hours a day?

    High gas usage for boiler.

    The only thing I can remember being changed was the meter. I don’t remember the change in the bills happening straight away though. The smart meter always used to show £3-4 a day total for gas and electricity. Tado has always been in since we moved in. I added digital TRV’s after the issue to...

    High gas usage for boiler.

    It’s an older house - 1960’s and had insualtion blown in about 10 years ago before we moved in.

    High gas usage for boiler.

    So I would say we’re probably similar in setup. 5 bed 3 reception room (open plan) and always at 21 Im not sure if the house would be classed as poorly insulated though? Has full cavity wall insulation - had a loft conversion done to regs with double layer of super foil over the whole thing...

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Id probably be happy with 22000!!! 😀 Thanks for all your helps Guys! I sense we’re running out of road and I just need to accept my house now takes a lot more to heat! Global warming? (Manchester is global cooling I think!) Just one last question if I can - is there anything in the boiler...

    High gas usage for boiler.

    Correct - in the tado app - you have to tell each room which controller to use to call for heat - or you can set “none” - which is what every room other than “downstairs” is set to.

    High gas usage for boiler.

    I put them in because originally - when I was trying to get ontop of the high gas usage - I programmed them to be off all day in the bedrooms and upstairs - as we obviously were not using them. But when I realised it didn’t affect the gas usage - and if anything the house felt colder and was...
