So, where is the problem with that? Sounds to me that you are comparing
oranges with Apples.

Whilst our boiler has been inoperative, we have had to make do with just
the living room radiant gas fire. With door closed, it is more than warm
enough on 1/3 of its 3 bars lit, but the rest of the house is cold. Aside
from the heating, the gas boiler provided for all our main hot water needs
too, washing up, cleaning and baths. With an electric shower. The gas
heater has been lit roughly for the same amount of time as the boiler
would be providing heating in the place.

Cooking is via gas, so unaltered.

I log gas, electric and water consumption every week, on a Sunday. The
boiler failed mid- week, so this is the first full week with no boiler. In
the previous two full weeks with boiler in operation, total gas
consumption was £14 per week. In the this full week of no boiler use
consumption was £7 - so about half the cost if we put up with one room
heated, versus the whole house being comfortably warm.
