Re: The energy crisis
I managed to find what the numbers on the boiler are really for in respect of temperatures for the radiators.
The fitters set it between 3 and 4 (approx 65c), so I shall try it at the new recommended level between 2 and 3 (approx 55c). The youtube vid I recently posted talks about larger radiators and pipework, and ours was installed with double rads and 15mm pipes, so it should cope.

Re: The energy crisis
I checked and it seems I actually set mine to 70C (not 75C as I thought).
As winter comes along, at it gets cold enough to trigger them, I'll see how it goes.
The previous boiler did not get anywhere near that, so radiators almost too hot to touch will be a new thing.

The prices I quoted are the new ones for October averages as not all area caps are the same

Re: The energy crisis
I have E7 Electricity [atm], so always a little different.

Re: The energy crisis
The Martin Lewis (MoneySavingExpert) site has made an Energy Price Cap Calculator available, for when the price cap rises in October.
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ut...p-unit-rates-/
It works out that our annual energy bill will increase to approx. £3,200 per year (this has not deducted the £400 Government money, so £2,800 per year); this time last year my yearly bill was around £1,400...

Compared with the current cost, there will be practically no difference after 1 October. As well as the £400 reduction, there are other factors to be borne in mind too, such as the suspension of the green energy levy.

Re: The energy crisis
Not sure that a 10% increase (in my and Taf’s examples) is "practically no difference"…

Re: The energy crisis
Are we meant to have received official notification of price changes, ahead of 1st Oct?
I pay gas by DD, and electric via quarterly bill. Not sure how this £400 rebate will work. Will it come off the gas or the electric?
Looking at the website about my account, it's saying the gas DD is going down from £39 to £31. Not sure whether that will change come October.
