£446 for 500 litres of oil to top up a 1800 litre tank. It was 80p, now £1+
£115 for 250kg of decent coal.
£620 for 4 dumpy bags of logs.
£1,181. For heat and hot water to get through winter.
The oven is electric, that's separate.
My gas bill prior moving in June 2021 used to be £60 odd quid a month and that included the oven lol
Gas is going up 180% coal this year 20%....

Got one of them mate. Grown loads this year!
Shame can't get a shower with coal!
How do you heat your water in summer? Is your property able to use gas?

Forget powering up games consoles and energy sapping TVs… jigsaws in the dark is the new craze this winter.

I can as it heats all the hot water system & the central heating..... it would not be worth installing if it did not do that - i paid £1000 in 1987, so as a guess it must cost about 5 -6 grand now .....
You use coal/wood in the summer to heat water? Do you just turn the radiators off then?
Isn't that a lot of expense for just hot water though?
Reason I ask is most who have a Rayburn etc alternative non-gas forms of energy rely on immersion/electric for watertank when it's not winter but even that costs a lot.
I use an immersion heater in the summer for hot water.....
Just found a photo of our fire still in production - thinking of inflaton it may cost a coal board approved fitter with inflation 6-8 grand to put it in with a hot water central heating system now - back in 1987 in was a £1000 - which we added to our mortgage a very good investment as in my early days I got my wood free.....

Can you clarify how much wood you get in a dumpy bag?
We have a log burner and just took delivery of our ash logs for this winter. £65 for half of a pickup truck load.
It'll vary mate depending on supplier.
The ones I like are;
"Our bulk bags measure 85 x 85 x 85 cm when empty.
We overfill the bags with a measured amount of .8m3 loose volume. The bags when full stretch and bulge to 1m in width, so allow just over 1 meter for storage and access"

Tried loads before, you can get cheaper wood but a lot is a false economy. Prefer kiln dried.
When I've had pickup truck loads from a few suppliers it's always been less value, and the logs a bit hit and miss.
