bendy Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Right so I'm finally in the market to buy so expect an imminent crash of about 90% sometime soon! Anyway what happens if you basically never use a combi-boiler for the large part of the year? Where I'm coming from is that I wouldn't need a hot water source for all of the summer and likely maybe fair bits of winter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicker Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Nothing . Modern combis have no pilot light and provide hot water when a tap is open . If not using it just turn it off and back on when you need, wont even use any leccy for the display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-percent Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 So, if I've understood this correctly, you are not planning on washing for the whole of the summer, the hottest months. I hope you work outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendy Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Cheers, the replies I need. Nope I get up, dip to the gym, get a rinse there, go back again at lunch, get another rinse, finish work and sometimes go back for round 3, get another rinse then home. Why use any of your own water/fuel etc. when you can get it all sorted at work and in shape at the same time If it wasn't for standing charges I could see my bills of gas/leccy'water being less than 200 quid a year. Body temp runs super high due to the amount of exercise (was freezing wet through tonight though ). Never cold in general and get at least 2 showers a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYY The dog's kennel is not the place to keep a sausage - Danish proverb With your frugality over the free coffee, you qualify for honorary status as being Yorkshire. The accent is nearly right, just keep away from our monkeys. They are NOT French spys. Remember the motto Yorkshire Motto: 'Ear all, see all, say nowt; Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt; And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt; Do it fer thissen. you will be quizzed if you try and cross the border without your passport (flat cap, whippet, or lurcher will suffice, and raving pigeon) edit to add, I don't know what a raving pigeon is, crapple predictive text obviously does.

XYY The dog's kennel is not the place to keep a sausage - Danish proverb I have posted this before: I worked with someone who boiled the kettle every night before he went home and filled a Thermos flask so that he didn't have to boil his kettle at home. It would not have surprised me in the slightest if he drank no hot drinks at the weekend. I had a lift from him one winter when we had rare snow and ice; his car was freezing. I started fiddling with the heater which didn't seen to be working and he said it needs a new matrix. He probably still hasn't had it fixed yet.

I was more worried about where you'd be putting the plates to dry. I boiled the kettle instead of turning the water on for washing when I lived in a flat with electric only water and a hot water tank (the shower was electric too, so didn't need another hot water supply for that), but I'd guess that the difference between boiling the kettle and using a combi boiler for that would be fairly tiny, cheaper to heat the water in the boiler but quite a bit wasted in the pipes.
