have to try that with some of the rats in the chat rooms lol
I know this is reallyyyy gonna p*ss pple off :lol: but i’m gon do it any,,,,,,ya can’t get me,,,,,im this side of me pc screeen,,,,,,,so ner ner :lol:
As many of you know, I moved earlier this year and it was the best thing I ever did. I’m very happy in my little flat, well it’s really not so little, but it is lovely. It’s quiet, it’s just lovely.
I pay £12.35 a week, which is paid by direct debit, every Monday, and that is all year round,,,,thats for my gas and electric. Thats it!!,,,,,,,,,,I was so gobsmacked when they told me that was all I had to pay :shock:
It’s whats called ‘Sheltered Accomodation’. I have my own very self contained flat,,,,,,theres also a communal lounge and kitchen downstairs,,,,,,Iv’e been here for nearly 4 months now, and I haven’t yet found anything to complain about. Iv’e also, not had to use my own heating as yet. There are radiators up and down the corridors outside, which warm the entire building, including my own flat. I did put my heating on one night as it was so cold, then had to turn it off again as it was too much!! :)
*runs and hides* 8)
Well I am in shock ……. :shock:
My direct debit to dear old British Gas has gone up from £24 a month to £59 !!!!! [-X
Yeah I know we all have or will have been affected by rising fuel costs but come on that is just daylight friggin robbery! :evil:I live in a 2 bed semi that has been double glazed , cavity wall treated , New combi boiler & loft insulated to death. My heating this year has been on for a couple of hours at a time to “take the chill off” when required.
So is there anyone out there who can justify such a huge hike ??? :?
At that rate god help us all if this recession really takes hold. [-o<
My monthly payment plan is £32 a month, I use british gas for both electric and gas and I think thats why it’s cheaper.
I have a combi boiler now, it has saved me a hell of alot of money. What i would like to ask is, what is the best setting to have it on and is the eco setting a waste of time, as I have to run the water forever to get it to run hot.

Your boiler has a problem, your water should be “hot” (55C+) within 10 sec’s of you turning on the tap. Get some one out to have a look at it.
Pop up the name/model of your boiler and will give you the information you asked for.
Even with the eco button on? If I don’t have the eco button on then it comes through boiling within 5 seconds.
regardless, you should be getting hot water in 5-10 sec’s, if you don’t there something wrong.
Its all about saving water ect……………
Not what the bloke who said when he fitted it, well I am just glad I am not on a water meter :roll:
Takes longer than 5 seconds and it’s checked and serviced every year
Types of combi boilers
There are five ‘varieties’ of combi boilers.
A combi (instantaneous) boiler is the most widely used combi boiler type and directly heats incoming mains cold water to supply your taps, showers and other hot water points.
A combi (instantaneous condensing) boiler operates as an ‘instantaneous’ boiler but at somewhat higher efficiencies than the standard combi boiler.
A combi (storage) boiler is a variant of the Instantaneous combi boiler type above and is designed to give you better performance through the internal storage of heated water. The stored water also can give you better initial water supply from cold water mains on first turning on the tap. Once the stored heat has been used, this boiler will tend to operate as an ‘instantaneous’ type. Dependent upon the make and model, the improvement in heated water delivery will depend upon the size of water store, and this can vary widely.
A combi (storage condensing) boiler operates in principle as a ’storage’ type but at higher efficiencies.
Combined Primary Storage Unit (CPSU) – This is a special category of storage combi which will incorporate a very large water store allowing a high water flow rate to taps and other draw off points and to quickly heat radiators before the water store is used.
I don’t know what his idea was of “instantaneous hot water”, but in my book its instant hot water within 5 sec’s.
