My old boiler (the one on the wall not the one walking about)

is nearly 30 years old (original unit) and was set on V.Hot and timed to come on twice a day for hot water at 2 hours a time. When this Russian s**te kicked off I put it to "Warm" and down to 30 mins a day. We have electric showers so water just for occasional washing up and Mrs Splat to have a bath. When I sent my energy readings through to supplier last week they queried the gas reading for being suspiciously low. Bit of a result I thought but like you was also thinking of all the energy I'd wasted over the years.
