that sounds normal if you have it on a timer (comes on at certain time and temp). You may need to adjust the temp so that it's not blowing hot air out constantly when at the set temp.]]> Fri, 17 Jun 2011 11:58:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1348270&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1348270 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1347558&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1347558 Author: shellgirl

Thanks everyone for your replies.

We think we may have solved the problem. Turns out we were on the wrong plan and DH worked out the bill would have been about $180 if we were on the correct one. We also had a gas man come and look and there are a couple of holes in the ducts in the ceiling so we will have been using extra because of that as well. A bit of a relief as it is all stuff that can be fixed pretty quickly (especially seeing as how we are coming into winter at the moment).]]> Thu, 16 Jun 2011 07:41:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1347558&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1347558 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1347543&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1347543 Author: minik8e

My parents have gas central heating and have never had a bill that high!!! They have it set to turn on at about 6am, and it turns off at about 8.30am (they're usually both gone from the house by then) then turns back on at around 4pm until 10.30pm. From memory their bill is usually between $130-180 (depends on if my girls have been round there, as they usually turn it on if they are and it's a cold day). They only have the central heating on gas, everything else is electric.]]> Thu, 16 Jun 2011 00:26:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1347543&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1347543 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1347080&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1347080 Author: Isabella

Shellgirl - that sounds like a lot!! We cut the gas supply to our current house because of the horrendous daily 'for the pleasure of having it' rates! But our last student flat about 3 years ago was gas heating and water and that was about $150/month for 4 of us.. ]]> Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:54:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1347080&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1347080 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1346887&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1346887 Author: CarleyRose

I can't help you sorry, but i am interested to see what they are costing,we are looking at putting central heating into our house. I just can't stand getting up in the morning to a cold house ]]> Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:44:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1346887&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1346887 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1346882&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1346882 Author: shellgirl

Does anyone have gas central heating and can give me an idea of how much it costs per month at this time of the year?

We recently moved into a new house with gas central heating and cooktop (not the hot water). We have just got the bill for the first month and it is $315 . We have been using it for an hour or so in the morning and then 3-4 hours in the evening. We did have a leak which has since been fixed which could have accounted for some extra cost, but DH did a meter reading this morning and in 4 days we have used 20 units which works out to over $250 for the month if we continue at that rate.    The power company originally estimated 35 units a month and we used over 150. Is it really that expensive to run??]]> Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:42:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39585&PID=1346882&title=cost-of-gas-central-heating#1346882
