Well we've made the decision after much talking to disconnect ourselves off the gas, mainly because our gas central heating has now had it. We thought about a condensing boiler but have taken the plunge and decided to get a special woodburner that runs the heating and water and multiple solar panels. We just can't afford the massive gas bills any more and this way will not only be considerably cheaper than installing a new boiler but we also live next to a forest so wood isn't really a problem.
No doubt there will be some cursing on a freezing February morning when we are lying under 6 duvets arguing about who's turn it is to light the woodburner
The solar panels will provide much of our energy in summer and make a big contribution towards light and running the p.c. We don't have television anyway.
Our bills next winter should be negligible, feeling excited but also a bit apprehensive! No more convenience living in our house.
