Pre-Installation Octopus Diakin 9KW

Do you have daily figures for gas consumption for some cold days, say around Jan 11th? Divide by 24 to get average heating power. This can give a good estimate for how much heat is required, though you’ll have to take into account the efficiency of the gas boiler (maybe 70-80%?) and the wood burner. Octopus would be hard pressed to argue against historical consumption.

Better still if you can find temperature records for those same days, and plot them on a graph.

Also, give Trystan’s new Simple heat loss tool a try, though it can only be a rough estimate.
