Hi looking for some advice on reducing my gas bill.
Currently my annual estimate for gas is £2000. Our usage is far greater than the average for a 5 bedroom house and I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
We have a new boiler,under floor insulation, a converted loft with insulation. Upstairs is warm but downstairs is not esp the kitchen which is part of an extension - it has its own latch but that does have insulation.
I think these might be the main culprits
- kitchen and bathroom downstairs have 15+ Yr old windows and the bathroom ones are draughty - we will replace these once winter has gone
- our front door (upvc) also feels cold when you stand near it - not sure how to fix this as the doors really aren't that old.
Are there any other changes we can make? Our thermostat is set to 20 degrees on manual mode all day long. When the temp drops to 18 ish we do notice it and find it uncomfortable. Atm we are using around 12m3 of gas according to our smart meter.
TIA!
