We Have Heating ....

Right did the 1 hour check, the meter showed up at only taking off 20p for that hour but bearing in mind i didnt run any hot water, Tomorrow i will do the 1 hour check again, this time running off some hot water....say, half a bath to see what that will cost.
My other house going back 2 years ago had central heating and that used approx £10 a week but now we have had a 40% increase in the price of gas that means another £4 + extra.
I reckon its going to take about £15-£18 a week on the meter. :( + £20 a week on my electric :( .....

Also ive noticed my meter is still clocking down my credits when nothing is being used on the gas :( .... rip off turds ! :)

:eek: the fun & games i've got to yet contend with - the price of warmth hehehehehe. Yeh thats the downside of pre payment meters will still clock up a small amount even tho not using any, tho u will be keeping a pilot light alight.
 
WE are waiting for them to put ours in, the old boiler went for a burton we got a grant though Homewise, they have insulated the loft etc can't wait to get new system in it's costing a fortune for electric fires and immersion heater, so if you read this mr installer please hurry up.

Just had a good laugh it says on the order form 'Iguana turning up the heat on service' i'll try turning up the heat on them tomorrow.:Banane29:
 
The Cruden guys are all really nice....Honest. Couldnt fault any of them. They actually come into your home and respect you and your property, not like the councils lads who im sure have competitions as to how much damage they can cause.
Just had Crudens plasterer around today, he not only filled in any work left from the heating being put in, he also rectified some of HBC shoddy workman ship for me, which he didnt need too. :D
 
:mad: :mad: :mad: Afetr having to have my boiler bump started nearly every morning cause it kept loosing pressure and not working, the boiler manufactorers had to come around to it today :eek: ... Fingers crossed it works ok, from now on....
 
Something simular here plus the fact every time they turned up in the mornings to bump up the pressure they was putting air in the pipes as well ...
 
Heh, we don't(except for the main fire and a couple of oil filled rads), we are decorating at the min and as I was walking past teh downstairs bathroom at 8:45 I heard running water. But none of us had been in the bathroom so I went to investigate further only to find teh flexible pipe to the hot tap has split wide open and boiling water is squirting everywhere. So its a sudden try and remember which tap on teh pipes under the boiler turns teh water supply off. so no heating or hot water till tomorrow :(

Ah well, at least it didn't happen when we had gone to bed or it would have been going all night!

I do find it laughable that they had to call the boiler manufacturers out to sort out the problem. Can plumbers only fix leaks these days?

I guess its something to do with the warranty, bit like a ps2 aint it, open it and break the seal and sony dont want to know. :p
 
Well we've still had no visit from cruden inspectors as far as central heating goes as stated 3 weeks ago but they have been installing it at one house across the rd & one round corner seems that they are picking one or two houses then leaving the rest:confused:

Me & tinks have got an estimated bet when they will turn up i recon after xmas Tinks recons they will start on day before they finish for xmas leaving our house in a mess during xmas :rolleyes: lol
