We've recently had a gas boiler installed (never had one before).
We're on a pay as you go meter (expensive). The remote thermostat (if that's what its called) controls the temperature of the radiators.
2 days ago I switched the remote to zero it had £3.70 in the meter. When I came home it had £2.70. So I though that I would switch the central heating and the water off from the boiler. and it still went down 50p!!
Does the boiler burn gas(or whatever it does) when the water is switched on but not being used?
Does the boiler burn gas (how much) when it is switched off from the thermostat?
Does the boiler have to be switched off altogether to not use any gas?
I'm spending a fortune on gas, cheers for any help
