yep already seen weather comp and room stats and progs mandatory

 

[Chalked]

Looks like nothing new.

Looks like they are going to alter fitting trv's as not mandatory. And making weather comp mandatory.
There's charts for the savings, but most take 9-21! Years to pay back.

I would say, put more emphasis on better insulation on older housing.

What about forcing manufacturers to make boilers that last for longer than 10 years? I reckon that will do far more to save the planet than making the fitting of weather compensators compulsory!

 

[Atouchofgas]

No point in weather compensators if your house is classified as E rates though is there

Anyone else noticed that the figures for weather compensation assume they are fitted and maintained FOC.
Section 2.10 also reveals average savings of condensing boilers at £95.00 per year equates to a 25 year payback period,( or 35 years if installed by BG).
5% annual income on energy cost is accepted by most households. 100% of monthly income on boiler replacement is not.
Better insulation of homes and increased reliability of boilers to last 15 years +, is the path to true savings and the reputations of all involved.
