    How about shutting off that seperate boiler in your garage, since your not using it. See if it has its on gas pipe shut off valve. That'll help eliminate another possibilty, it could have a leak and you not notice due to ventilation out in the garage.

    from what ive seen him write before his gas safe certificate says there are no leaks, its a hard one to call, but i still say his meter is running fast if he never experienced these problems in a similar sized and equipped house (double glazed, insulated etc,,)

    If you have a really old gas guzzling boiler, a card top up meter, plus someone in your house with the heating on all day and night, then you can use £30 a week !!!!!! What Make and model s your boiler ?

    The boiler is crap, rated D apparently and the windows are double glazed but old but I still dont see this accounting for three times as much as the last place.
    The boiler in the garage isnt connected, gas pipe is capped off and everything is gas basically. Gas cooker, showers run off the hot water not electric.

    I've rang eon and they dont appear to give a **** but why would they with all the money they are getting from me.
