Whilst we're on the subject. I purchased a house in April and it quickly became apparent having called a plumber out that we have a somewhat archaic system in place. To cut a long story short the heating will not work unless the hot water tank is fully heated. To rectify this problem is not cheap so I will live with it until such time as the boiler packs in and I'm forced to replace it.
Anyway, to manage this my intention is to have the hot water on 24/7 whilst setting the heating on a timer, enabling the heating to kick in immediately.
Now as far as energy bills go I've had a number of people (including my plumber) say that it's actually cheaper to leave your hot water on constant. Something about reheating repetition resulting in the boiler working harder.
I get this theory however I am far from convinced that having it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is going to lead to anything other than one almighty gas bill.
Can anyone prove/disprove this theory?

Well we had a new boiler fitted a year or so ago and the thing is always on but just set to a thermostat, its on all the time and in winter its going on and off all day just topping up the heat. The whole house is always warm so we never come home to a cold house . Bills have been cheaper as well!
That it is.
Yesterday it was so wet the residual washing powder was bubbling out of my shorts.
Happy dayz.

There's this amazing new device called a thermostat. You set it to a comfortable temperature and it never drops below it. You should get one. Things that are on more often are less likely to break too.

Log burner only for now, nowhere near cold enough for central heating...

Yes - Only reason windows went semi shut last night was the blinds rattling in the wind......
