Re: ENERGY MATTERS
God knows.....
I just want to know how what I am paying compares with others..... Going into detail like that is a hassle for me....

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
It's difficult to make a comparison without knowing. It'll be on your bill.
My last elec bill was £76 and gas was £10.
July was £61 and £10

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
That was what I wanted Kev. So I'm paying a touch more than you for both of you. That figures.... It's the shed penalty!

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
With the exception of the CH boiler everything else is electric, the £10 gas is mostly the standing charge.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
I took a gamble by fixing mine for 12 months. There is the possibility, that once the October price cap kicks in, I may be paying slightly above but I suspect it'll go up again in January.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Same here, Kev.
...and again, same here! Our previous fix did well for us and we ended up with very cheap energy as prices rocketed.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
I had a good fix and it served me well until it ended in April I think. I haven't got enough confidence to fix the way things are..... I shall just hang in there and pay the bills!

Ironic isn't it Peter. We get more and more expert at monitoring what's happening to climate just at the time when we have totally lost control....

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Finland are investigating damage to their gas pipeline to Estonia after a sudden drop in pressure. Speculation is that it's sabotage, in response to Finland joining NATO, which has pushed up European gas prices by 13.5%.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Yes, after an Autumnal let off I think we are now into the heating season. The thermostat rules and it's a nice temperature here in the kitchen and the shed. I shall not be cutting back to save money, at my age that's definitely a false economy!

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
We are getting a new, external oil boiler for our central heating on Monday. The Stanley range cooker/ ch boiler has done a great job for the last 24 years but with new regulations threatened Col thought we should take the plunge and upgrade to a new boiler which will, if necessary, convert to running on HVO.
The Stanley remains as an occasional cooker and focal point in the kitchen but Col has already been doing preparatory plumbing so it's central heating function has gone already. Trust the weather to be bitterly cold whilst we have no heating!
I was, of course, meant to be away whilst the work was going on but here I am, trying not to ask annoying questions or get stressed about how it's all going to work.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Does it need to be specifically processed or can you use any veg oil?

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
No Kev, apparently a very pure synthetic paraffin produced by 'hydrotreating' vegetable oils. Its not available in enough quantities yet to make it a viable alternative for domestic heating but it is seen as a future solution for those of us who rely on oil.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Don't rule it out, Col is probably planning his own hydrotreatment plant in the barn...
