    Default plumbing peeps

    To me this is one big confusion



    The thing is at the moment my gas bill is sky high so to help bring it down a bit im hoping that i flick this on for an hour before showers and stuff the hot water will come from this instead of the boiler, but how to I tell if it is plumbed in to work this way?

    there is no way your immersion heater will be cheaper to run then your boiler

    Your immersion is electrically heated, a back boiler behind your fire is used for central heating although you should have a timer elsewhere in the house

    burgo, if you have a bath, run baths instead. its way cheaper than a shower

    The immersion heats via rods which take ages to heat for not enough water
