Hi all. Moved into a new (to us) house a few months ago and had to get the boiler replaced recently. The house is a 1937 four bed with a 1992 extension over the garage (adding more kitchen space and the fourth bedroom).
Since we have had the new boiler fitted I've been trying to gauge our gas consumption. Boiler in question is a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 29CDI Classic and we have 12 radiators of varying sizes (four of which are quite large).
Neither of us really feel the cold so we have the heating on timed (up to 18 degrees) from 6-7am, 5-7pm and then 8-9pm (19 degrees). So far (with one bath a day too) it looks like we are using 4 - 6 units a day (when cold), or around 1 unit an hour.
We had a gas leak on the new pipe that was fixed on Friday, but since the 10th November we have used 44 units!
Does this sound right or should we get things checked? The house is quite big (because it's old) and the room with the stat (Honeywell CM927) in has a conservatory attached to it (we do close doors inbetween them though). I doubt it's the best insulated house too, but I'm led to believe that old houses need to 'breathe' and you can't just stuff them with insulation.
We have moved from a much smaller 2 bed house, so maybe this is normal and we are just not used to it. Any ideas? Thanks.
