My gas boiler seems to use a lot of electricity!

[surge]

Hi. My gas boiler seems to use a lot of electricity! Is this normal. My electric meter flashes every 2 seconds when the boiler is in use so it seems I'm getting a double spank. The boiler is very old but I'm not sure if that's the/a reason? Any thoughts?
Cheers
