How much does it cost to run a bath?

Where abouts in Carlton are you?

Im netherfield.

Im on Southdale Drive just down from parkdale school. Doing final year at CLW.

£2000 for a new boiler?

Was £1950 for all of the plumbing in the new extension as well as the boiler. I think the boiler itself was about £800, but labour costs etc soon added up. It was my dads friend who actually did it all as the contractors orignally were gonna charge £2800!

Basically read the meter before and after running the bath, and punched the meter readings into my spreadsheet where I hold all my meter readings. The said spreadsheet calcutes the standing charge and cost per kWh, including the calorification value.

Cost per kWh: £0.02597
Daily standing charge: £0.12075

Of course, it's not a straight £0.12075 added on the total value.

I work out how many days have passed between the readings, multiply the days (ie: 0.5 (half a day), 7.5 (a week) by the standing charge to get my total standing charge cost.

Put it another way - I removed the standing charge calculation, and the cost was still £0.19.

That enough detail for you?

I see.. I just wondered because it seems too high..
