so we have very comfortable temp all the time;
we had a timer before but never ever again;
it's much more efficient than turning the heating only for let's say 3 hours;
when the rooms are cold it uses more energy (gas, oil) to heat it up;
and it's a lot better for comfort of living;
does your work to set the temperature or just to turn on or off the heating?
we have the gas heating so it might be difference with oil heating; I'm not an expert; but just to say that over the summer months when we didn't heat at all, just use cooker my bill was €24 (we have a gas cooker as well; used a lot)
I may have a look for the bills for las winter if that'll help;
I hope I helped a bit;

hiya thank you for your reply, our thermostat is outside on the boiler, not sure how it works really and then inside all i have is a timer switch. Problem is i'm a very cold creature so like to have the house @ approx 22 degrees all the time, even if i put on a couple of jumpers i'm still cold if temp below this. I usually have to fill the oil tank twice per year (1300 litre tank), which i suppose is not too bad but i would just like to know if there is a more efficient way of me using the oil.
