Is this normal? Old 70s 4-bed bungalow with an outside Firebird 90 boiler. The house is reasonably insulated: double rolls of insulation in attic space and the walls were 'injected' with bead insulation about three years ago. Got 500 ltrs of kerosene towards end of November and ran out this weekend (January 19). Works out at about just over 60 euro per week to heat the house (with 12 rads). Is this par for the course? Too expensive? I have to admit we didn't get the boiler serviced this year but was serviced in 2011. The boiler stat is set to about 70 degrees (which is roughly half-way on the dial) and is usually going for an average of about 5 hours each day and while I bleed the rads usually each year they do take ages to heat up and seem to go cold almost immediately the heat is turned off?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
