Gas useage

[Tech12]

Hi Guys: Recently had a new heating system installed in my house.All rads have trv's, thermostat in dining room & an Ideal Logic Combined30 boiler. Supposed to be very efficient & cost effective to run.Doesn't seem to be that cost effective at the moment, we're going throughabout £49.00 a week in gas. This compared to our old Myson compact boilerwith no trv's or room stat which was running about £35.00 a week over thewinter, i know gas prices have gone up but that seems a bit excessive.Any suggestions ?.Thanks : Andy

just going back to Andy before we all discuses out gas and lecky charges.

Turn your boiler stat down, ok it will mean cooler rads but if your home is well insulated and rads / boiler are all sized right, that should help.

Boiler stat is set on the e setting at the moment, that's what the installer reckoned was the most economical setting to run it at.
