The 158Kwh Gas do the calculation say
10L/min shower for 4 minutes , water heated from 20C from 20-40C => 40L * 20C / 860 = 0.93Kwh
so 158Kwh = 6 showers a day , or 3 x 8 minute showers, or 4 x 4 minutes showers @15L/min
In winter time if the incoming waters gone down to 10C the shower price goes up 50%
Got my email from Bulb anyway. If every supplier is charging the same why not just nationalise now?
#metoo - not sure if you can now jump ship to EDF / one of the big guys
Octopus had wanted to buy bulbs(solr) customers to get a bigger share of the market (if the govt gave them 4Bn was it -lol) , but with the govt cap it's no longer an issue, everyones levelled
(so could have been a judicious move by govt)
I think Octopus will get out of the business and just sell their software package, EDF's economy 7 ,new rates look close to octopus go, anyway, with low overnight rates.
wow, these should be a mandatory fitment with all new boilers.
adverts says it's the same as a pre-heat ... we just get into the habit of turning pre-heat on 20mins or so before folks usually shower.
the add on mechanism should be the same as just turning on the tap at a slow rate for 30s or so.
We use towels daily for a week (sometimes twice a day if I've had a run). They are definitely ready for a wash at the end of the week though
can use a flannel to take off most of the water - makes the shower+drying turnaround faster, towels/bathmat don't get sodden ... and last several weeks (I do this for trips to swimming pool too)
