Thank Heavens we've had a fairly mild winter. It doesn't look good for next year though.

Oh dear they might have to rethink that company name when they are squeezing us

ha ha yes VioletSky - I think they'll be squeezing everyone and giving them the pip!

We hadn’t realised quite how efficient our house is, being new to oil. 4 bed , water based underfloor heating with radiators upstairs uses one 1300L tank per year. We have solar panels which also help to heat the water.

500 ltrs per month seems an awful lot!

Nannytopsy - your solar panels must heat the water efficiently to only use 1300 ltr pa. We will be pleased if we get through the year buying 1800 and this is a smaller house than yours ie 3b. Electric fire/oven and hob and our electric is anticipated to rise by £200 pa.
