Question:

how much heating oil should an A rated domestic condensor boiler use..litre/hour small property?

ive just had fitted a brand new 12/18 worcester external boiler fitted and it appears to be using alot of oil ie 500 litres in 30 days any advice appreciated

Answer:

I have the same boiler (condensing) approx. 1 year old and I consumed 1034 litres in 8 weeks to end of January. Works out at ?275 a month which is extortionate! I thought this was very high, considering my house is not overly hot and half the rooms aren't even heated. Hot water is on 2 hours a day. So I had a heating engineer round and he suggested to turn the dial on the boiler to 'half' instead of max, (as advised by installation engineer). He also suggested to run the central heating on all-day setting instead of morning and night, as boiler works hard to get to temperature. We'll see, although a tad sceptical of this advice. I'm also turning main thermostat down to 18C from 20 to see if that helps. The boiler was fine so I'll probably have to live with it. It's not being stolen either. The usage in summer and autumn was about a quarter of what it is just now. Roll on spring! Would be grateful for any useful tips to control heating.
purple diesel IS heating oil, dyed to coach the customs human beings it truly is untaxed oil for heating. it somewhat is nice to place taxed oil on your tank yet not distinctly intelligent given which you pay extra for it. yet once you employ purple diesel on your vehicle and you're caught you will get a heavy nice for tax evasion.
