Is it really cheaper for me to have central heating on all day than a gas fire?

If your fire is 15 years old get it certified for compliance, adequate ventilation is most important. Carbon monoxide will kill.

Gets serviced once a year though I won't be using it if at all anymore mate.

Time to invest in a new more efficient gas fire then, old living flame about 60%, new gas fire about 85 to 90% , if you were going to replace the boiler, then you have the money to invest in a new fire.

What a new living flame is that much more? I thought they were all the same thanks mate. Get one next year sometime.

With all the ailments, cold, niece etc etc it might be better to get in touch with the BBC & get Nick Knowles & his crew round....

Don't even know why he is turning his heating on B4 he go's to bed !! He as an electric blanket .

You's know about plumbing but you know nothing about my health conditions and what affects them. Are we really going to get childish.

Yes they are, check on the efficiency rating B4 you buy, I've fitted a Valour fire at home about 3 years ago 89%, no good buying cheep ones from DIY stores, some more efficient than that but then your getting into flue less and that's a different ball game

Yes I know but for the likes of the days I am able to get up I spend it in the living room that's why I am confused as I thought it would be cheaper just to use fire and the central heating at night to take the chill out the bedroom mate before I go to bed. Correct?

Why dont you simply do whatever you want and be happy.

Your clearly confused and if after all this time and input you still arent hearing the advice or getting it, or getting it and then ignoring or what if, what if. But, but, but - then i think you simply need to pay from your own pocket for a professional heating engineer to come at your expense and assess whats best.

This clearly isnt working

That's not fair comment to make , a lot of guys on here have health issues, or know someone who has, but you learn to adapt & get on with life,

I still don't understand the point of the thread? Have you got an answer? I have. You want the heating on all day and you are moaning because you have to pay for it. You are trying to get into details that are not relevant. The fact is that gas use costs money, Like everything in life unfortunately.
