Daily Gas useage

[gazwigan]

Hi, i'm currently trying to get my gas bills down to a reasonable amount and could do with a bit of comparison to the way other households work.

I'd like to know how many gas meter units the average household uses?

I currently have a condenser combi boiler and the heating is on for 7 hours a day also there's the hot water useage aswell. This currently adds up to around 6 meter units per day which i think sounds quite a lot?

I've only just had the new boiler fitted last weekend due to my old one being outdated and having a bad leak which contributed to me getting gas bills of �116 per month so now i've got the new system in i'm wanting to get this down and quick!

Any help would be great

Do you need it on for 7 hours a day? I have gas and have it on for one hour in the morning before I go to work or go out and 4 hours in the evening. I don't know how many units I use.

When we had some nice days recently, I delayed my heating coming on in the evening because it was quite mild.

I think one needs to turn it up and down depending on the weather. I am usually too lazy to look but sometimes my husband changes the setting from high to low on mild days.
