I am trying to figure out if it is more energy friendly to let the hotpress run on electricity or on gas (set up such a way that it heats immersion heater only).
Our house is not fitted with an electric shower, so we use the hot press currently. I am more used to using gas for shower purposes (oh, where is the luxury of a combi boiler!) so maybe I should test it out myself with the gas meter, but maybe someone here has an idea what works out cheaper.
We have a very energy friendly condensed boiler but we keep it in a shed in the garden. (so longish travel time to the hot press). We are on standard rate tariffs for both ESB and Bord Gais.
Thanks!
