We have a combination of solar panels and gas to fuel both domestic hot water and underfloor heating system. Our gas consumption has been huge - not just this cold winter, and the price of gas is just not funny. We are filling the tank every 6-9 weeks from Oct to May (then the solar kicks in / heating not needed).
The house is c. 2500 sq ft with zones and thermometers in every room - with high spec insulation, lots of glass (k-glass) and high ceilings. We have tried having the timer on all the time with therms low (15oC) and tried turning the heating off overnight, but there has been no difference!
I can see that there could be heat loss through the glass (although its meant to be heat-efficient) and the high ceilings will cost to heat, but would like to hear if anyone has a suggestion as to how we can reduce our annual heating bill. Or do we need to rip out the LPG gas boiler and install another heating system?
