I live in a rented house, village location, oil fired, detached, old and
Grade A listed (yeah, Scotland...)

Been here since last July and the heating oil costs are scaring me a bit!

Filled the tank three times so far! 2300 litre tank at roughly £430 a
fill....

So it's heading for £1700 for the year. House is four beds, 18 radiators of
various sizes and parentage. The boiler is fairly new and is a Trianco
Eurostar. We have lots of draughty windows and doors, all single glazed.

I just wonder if that's what's to be expected with a house of this size and
age or whether the system need an overhaul. I certainly hear a lot of
gushing noises from it when it's coming on and going off.

Now we are lighting coal fires, never done it before but I remember my mum
doing it years ago!

Thanks for any help!
