Knowing how much fuel your boiler uses is essential for homeowners, especially if they want to cut their energy expenses or switch from a gas boiler. One easy way to estimate a boiler's fuel consumption is to look at its Kwh and efficiency rating. We'll explain what Kwh is in this post, how much gas a boiler uses, and how to cut your energy costs.
What is Kw and KwH?
Kwh is a unit of measurement for energy consumption, whereas Kw is a unit of power representing the amount of power produced by a boiler. For instance, to heat your home for one hour, a 24 kW boiler will need 24 Kwh of electricity. This data is used by energy suppliers to determine the overall energy cost, which is often shown on your energy bill. Checking your boiler's efficiency rating can help you determine more effective ways to operate it if you observe a larger energy cost than usual.
How much does it cost to run your gas boiler per hour?
While using a gas boiler, you'll typically pay 2.4p per kilowatt-hour. This indicates that it will cost about £0.84 to run a 35 kW boiler for an hour. The type of boiler you have, how old it is, and the energy tariff your provider has set all affect the price, among other variables.
If you've seen an increase in your energy costs, you should check with your energy supplier to see if petrol prices have gone up. The efficiency and safety of your boiler should be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer, even if there hasn't been a price increase. Your heating costs may significantly increase as a result of a leaky boiler.
