Is it really cheaper for me to have central heating on all day than a gas fire?

I am putting gas fire reading in. In 5 minutes tell me what is the cheapest and I will be out of your hair

Meter reading for fire being on 12 hours is 01714554

apart from when I had it do a test a member suggested for 2 minutes the reading for the fire being on 2 minutes With Fire on full for 2 minutes start 01710433 after 2 minutes 01710450.

and central heating on with fire off for 2 minutes was central heating on full 30 degrees 01710550 after 2 minutes 01710644 is the central heating cheaper than the fire overall.

Based on above readings you have a 28Kw boiler and 5Kw fire if this is not correct either your readings or meter are wrong. Please await others to confirm my maths.

I know it's a 30 Kw boiler and was putting out 29.52Kw on the 14/8/15. I don't know what my fire is it's 15 year old mate.

Time to invest in a new more efficient gas fire then, old living flame about 60%, new gas fire about 85 to 90% , if you were going to replace the boiler, then you have the money to invest in a new fire.

Same here almost Tropical ! still he does live in Scotland, maybe better to relocate then he would reduce his gas bill !!

If your fire is 15 years old get it certified for compliance, adequate ventilation is most important. Carbon monoxide will kill.

With all the ailments, cold, niece etc etc it might be better to get in touch with the BBC & get Nick Knowles & his crew round....
