I have been pretty religious with taking meter readings for the past month and know pretty much my upper and lower daily usage now, but I ran an experiment by not using any gas at all for a few days and found that it was using about 0.27 cubic meters of gas a day, purely when the boiler went into test mode (which it does several times per hour for about a minute each time).
I had been previously told not worry to as the costs are inconsequential. but. when I calculated the costs (my unit costs is about 5p/unit), the costs came to just under £5/month. That's £60/year just for test mode if I am correct.
Are my figures wrong or is there something weird going on with this boiler - as it seems too much energy to burn simply on test mode. Hoping some of you guys can give me your experiences and maybe some guidance and advice.
The boiler is an Ideal Isar He30.
