Default Pilot light gas usage


wrote in message
ups.com...
I've worked out that the pilot light on my old Vaillant combi boiler
uses the equivalent of 60UKP of gas per year, does this sound right?
This means a new boiler would repay in 10 years on the cost of pilot
light gas alone.


The pilot light heat is not wasted in my archaic convection glowworm boiler
as it all goes toward heating the hot water tank. That may not be true in a
fully pumped system, I'm not that expert.
