That much? Yeeps if I've got the maths right and 5p/kWhr for gas that's
over £100/year. Glad oil boliers have spark ignition...

Yes indeed. I got caught a few years ago when they changed my
meter. The old one didn't register the pilot light, being the
only usage over the summer. After the change I saw what it was
costing and turned it off for the summer.

I now have a condensing boiler with spark ignition, but the
replacement PCB, just after warranty expired, cost several years
energy saving.
