Read my posts above, watch out your immersion heater hasn't taken over heating duties because you reduced your boiler usage. Thats what happened to me and i had to find a why to turn that off. Because it's a lot cheaper to heat water with gas than electric, even after thee price rise in Oct

Should get the kids more into books as well, will work anytime as long as you have light.
Kindles can be backlit, or books on the tablets as well.
It's always switched off
They do like to read but yes good idea

If immersion is switched off then yeah just monitor the gas usage over the course of a week or two, it should kick in. I think an hour per day is usually fine depending how much hot water you use?
Could probably switch target temp to like 60-62 as well. If 50C kills legionella than 60C would be safely above it.
Temp differentials mean that it's easier to get water to 60-62 and also it loses heat less quickly.
Hyperinflation

Then stagflation.

these prices are rough
I hope this is allowed, but I don't think I've seen anybody link to MSE's calculator. It's accurate enough to get my current prices to the nearest pound, although that doesn't mean it'll be as accurate forecasting the October to January costs.

Great news! You used 10% less electricity and 27% less gas compared to the year before, Well that's something at least!
| Current price cap | October to January price cap | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual equivalent cost | £2,870 | £5,200 |
| Monthly cost | £239 | £433 |
| Weekly cost | £55 | £100 |
This is the really big problem.
The price is only high as there isn't enough to go around. Which will mean blackouts/rationing
I'd there was enough the price would naturally reduce

Well its sort of all those numbers, 60 is the accepted safe point, it cannot survive above that point, between 50-60 in theory its dying but it can still multiply and your for sure not guaranteed to be free.
The recommended (in industry) thing to do if running lower temps (actually below 70) is to cycle upto 70 and hold in there every so often (for 6 hours or so) which will dramatically reduce your risk.
I dont understand why you have ever had the immersion switched on if your running a boiler for hot water though. In effect your immersion would be attempting to hold the water temp up whenever the boiler was off.

This does seem accurate I agree, nailed my bills too.

Yeah, I've had our immersion for the tank switched off forever, just the boiler comes on twice a day to feed hot water back in to the tank.
No fan of Labour I know who's plan I support.
If those figures are accurate it's a great visual.
I prefer sunaks curve. Just the figures need to be higher
