Haha no offence mate :-DThermal mass? Cheeky bugger, I'm not that over weight.
No warning, it's a council house so I'm waiting for a call after my email last night. I was tempted to phone the emergency line but at 10pm I was 11th in-line so I thought bugger that and went to bed with an extra cover on it. I was soooo reluctant to get out this morning but my bladder disagreed.
What I did discover (and perhaps should have noticed) was that it's not been serviced since May 2021 :(
If it’s council then leave them to it, but always worth checking your condensate pipe when the weather is freezing, the condensate can freeze up, less so now with regs but can still happen, easy fix of just pouring some hot water over it, hope it’s something simple like that for you bud.

What makes it all the more galling, the said same are swanning about nice and cosy at the tax payer's expense. Put the cnuts on rationing, what we have to use, you use.It’s mind blowing, the people in charge have fully shafted the country making half of it completely broke but no doubt most still salivate waiting for their next dose of reality from the psychopaths.
Don’t worry guys they’re not done yet, still quite a bit of wealth to transfer over to them.

There's something wrong without a doubt there. Were the radiators getting hot?Not sure about anyone else but had heating on from 3pm onwards yesterday and house didn't get above 16...
Think it would need to be on 24/7 to get anywhere near 20, I know it's cold out but seems a bit much.

And just to rub salt into the wound, I fought through the jungle to the electric fire only to find that it's goosed as well (unless I'm missing something really obvious). Everything is turned on and the main trip fuse is OK and there's only 3 switches (and one of them is for the light) and a temp dial but no combination is working. We've never used it in the near 5 years we've been here since the initial turn on when the wife decided she didn't like it. At least I can call within hours now and maybe get some movement.Haha no offence mate :-D

EDF don't seem to be sending gas readings through at the moment even though the smart meter status says OK.
Anyway, I've taken to nipping outside once a week to read the gas meter, just to see what we are using.
£88 in the last week. I assuming that this week is going to be the coldest we are likely to experience, so it's not too bad as we have a 30-year old boiler and it's on most of the time between 6AM and 8PM, keeping the thermostat at ~ 20.

Ah ok mate, it’s all very confusing these days, one of my daughters lives in a council house, but it’s run by the housing association she actually works for, seems to be a common thing.No, local council.
