How much is your heating per hour?

[Cookiedough123]

We have been doing some calculations and found out our heating costs us £5.21 per hour. So to heat our house for 3 hours a day this would cost £15.60 a day!! We live in a cold 3 bed stone house. We are debating changing our boiler to something more economical as it is quite old! I was just wondering what other people pay hourly for their heating.

Sorry should of added GAS!!

That doesn't seem right. Mine's about £1.50 to £2 an hour and that is a ridiculous and above average price

£1.20 odd for the first bit when it fires up then drops to between 50-80p per hour, 3 bed semi detached gas central heating, double glazing and cavity wall and loft insulation

Sorry I should have put £1.20-1.80 for the first bit when it first fires up for a bit £1.80 was when it was very cold though

Did you put the cavity wall insulation in and if so did it make a difference?

My December bill was about £90 on gas not including standing charge etc. So £3ish a day on for a minimum of 5 hours, so about 60p. My heating is put on 20 degrees and when off sits at 17 degrees. I do live in a small mid terrace where the house normally sits around 18 degrees, so rarely kicks in and out during the day.

@PerfectYear321 it was already done when we moved in so can’t comment if it’s made a difference.

It's a hard question to answer as you have to think about the temperature etc

Once you heat a house up (from what temperature), it then has to maintain temperature as it loses heat. So many variables to think about there.
