Keeping your home warm / heating / energy crisis / insulation etc

We have an Ebac dehumidifier, not sure which one to be honest, but it’s not missed a beat in 4 years. Just turn it on to smart and it does what ever it does. They have a 5 year warranty as well.

Could anyone link to research/article that shows avg cost of heating your house while WFH 8 hours a day?

I know there are many variable in that question, but hoping to compare to a coworking hot desk option at £125/month.

Mains gas is currently approx 11.35p per Kwh

If you have a 24 kW boiler that means £2.76 per hour to run it on mains gas, so work out how many hrs extra you might put your heating on.

May as well get an oil rad/heater?

Bar heater would also do the job.

Once the ch is up to temp the boiler will be off and circulating the heated water. No idea what ratio of burn time to heating time you would get.

Also unless you are open plan I would run a small fan heater in the office space for about 3kw as a more cost effective heating setup than a 24kw boiler

Thanks, v useful.

help a person out as I'm only just getting cold working at home (2 floor house, i'm in one room, alone)

what oil filled radiator do I want/what other heating thing do I want rather than heating on all the time?

I've been watching Agent Carter with the kids, someone wears something like this and dies.

Of cold? if not, crack on

It overheats, locks up, and then he runs out the window before exploding above the street.
TBH some days that might be a nice option to have.

Screwfix have oil radiators of various size sub £50, one was linked up thread for £37

why not smart TRV’s set to ‘work room only 9-6pm’ ?
assuming you have wet heating system.

I don't have smart valves.

I ASKED THIS QUESTION 2 months ago.
My fucking memory is clearly useless.

It could be the cold. Have you tried heating the room?

But what with?
I hear oil rads might be good?

Maybe take some time out to think about it. Sit down, watch a film with the kids

well if you have a gas boiler you are probably better off getting smart TRV's, making further savings on your gas bill and have a warm work room while the rest of the house is empty.
heating a room with electricity is more than twice the cost of gas.

I heat rooms with the rage of my own inadequacy.

And a bunch of Tado TRVs.

Our boiler has been behaving a bit "iffy" over the last few days, so yesterday I picked up a diaphragm that usually tends to be the culprit. It's a twenty year old Glowworm combi. It didn't start again this morning when the thermostat demanded heat, so I figured I'd better get my hands dirty and change the diaphragm. After isolating power and figuring out which bits to stop flow on, I managed to get it changed, but it didn't solve the less than reliable starting, so I've spent a good portion of the day learning how to fully service it from a pdf version of the manual. Success! We have a boiler now working perfectly again, which made me feel very satisfied.

I know this is the right answer.

But the intricacies of the pipe work in this house make me wonder “how the fuck will that work then”

Impressive

How does your heating work now? What do you do to make teh warmz?
