Efficient use of central heating

I do have cavity wall insulation, and it has made a difference, I've also got at least 8ins in the loft.
I've got a couple of rads in the conservatory which obviously just bleeds heat out into the atmosphere, but I like the doors open, most of the time, which lead into there, I only shut them at night and during very cold spells,
Double glazing with E glass, not sure what else you can do.

My boiler is old but the general opinion seems to be the older ones are more reliable that condensing types.

I just think gas it priced too high.
I know they seem to be replacing every gas main in the country, (cant see why they all need doing right now), and we need to pay for that, but suppliers profits are not exactly small these days despite having to renew the pipes, and buy gas from Russia.

Roll on fracking I say, but I bet we wont notice the difference, it will all go to the fat cats.

 

When I joined British gas a couple of years ago they sent me a "free gift" worth £30 they said.

It was some stupid thing to put round the incoming electric cable which was then connected some how to a digital read out that you could place anywhere you wanted in the house.
I placed mine at the local tip, a while back.

What is the point? I have a meter, I can read how many units its clocking up.

FC you should not have to huddle up in bed to keep warm this is the 21st century.

 

We have one. Surprising how often we walked past it and wondered why it was reading so high, only to find that something had been left on. It was reading high once when we were headed off out ... had left the oven on

I'm not expecting to put the heating on for another month. We have good insulation, and good thermal mass in the building.

 

I wont ask who that is.

 

Its the more dense members in the building, of course
