    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    So from what's being said, the upshot is this boiler could easily use that volume of gas under normal usage in cold weather. Thanks very much all who helped clear that up for me, an old inefficient boiler I can deal with, just glad I didn't foolishly request an accuracy test as Spark were...

    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    We had a new thermostat fitted last month, that works perfectly.There are five radiators, 4 medium sized and a small one in the bathroom. I have the hot water on the timer as it's not an on demand boiler, that comes on for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Last time I was...

    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    I just checked the boiler and the GC number is 41 415 87 if it's any help.I can't lay hands on the energy certification info at the moment until I go round to mothers but it "seems" pretty well insulated. The double glazing and doors are well fitted and don't leak, there's a decent depth of...

    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. I'm going to keep a close eye on the usage while at the same time switching away from Spark (expensive, poor customer service). Once she's switched I'll get her a smart meter installed. Also, it looks very likely she'll qualify for a boiler grant and...

    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    Yes the bill is a dual fuel charge. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a Stelrad Ideal 2000 W boiler and if it was possible for such a device to use 54 kwh per day even if it was on full blast.Like I say, I have a strong suspicion the meter is faulty, but am not expert enough to know...

    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I recorded and photographed the meter when she moved in. I suspect the meter may be faulty but Spark says they will charge us £200 if it's tested and found to be OK. That's why I wanted to ask some experts if 671 cubic metres of gas over four and a half months...

    USA Worried about Elderly Mum's Gas Usage

    Hi All, Really not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm in a bit of a mess with my mum's energy supplier and I'm desperate for someone who knows what they're talking about to help. End of last October my mum rented a two up- two down semi detached relatively modern house...
