Keeping my heating system switched off for a full week recently, I was able to measure the amount of gas used by the boiler's pilot light. The digits on the meter changed by 1 unit over a period of 7 days. The boiler is a 15+ year-old Glow-worm Mk 2. Perhaps more modern boilers are less wasteful?
What else can I help you with?
