What sort of Savings can be made by using a Thermal System?
You will save up to 70% of your Hot Water needs. What that is in real terms depends on the type of Fuel you normally use. Oil or Calor Gas is twice as expensive as Mains Gas. The following assumes one Fuel, only, is used for Space Heating, Hot Water production and cooking. Although we know of people with 50% savings on their bill, we would normally expect around 30/40%. Less if one person lives in a big house, more if a lot of people live in a small terraced house. The more insulated the house, the greater the % saved. Mains Gas usually has a dual tariff at around 3.5p for the first 1500 KWh per quarter, and 2p thereafter. In the later part of spring, summer and early autumn, most of the first expensive units are used for Hot Water, so the savings will be a higher % of the total bill than the actual % of physical energy saving. Most people underestimate their usage of energy for Hot Water. Even if you don’t use any Hot Water, 35 galls is being heated, usually twice a day, and you can t
