[QUOTE="binky, post: 373989, member: 490"] if the boiler was trying to work radiators (wall heaters) but couldn't because of faulty pump, it would only heat a very small amount of water in the boiler before internal thermostat would stop it, which i doubt would result in such a large bill. i suspect your problem lies with 2 things:- 1/ a faulty boiler which is wasting lots of gas through inefficient burning of gas. 2/ a very poorly insulated house - you mention single glazed windows, and I suspect you may not have cavity wall insulation, or loft insulation either and probably no insulation on the hot water pipes where they run under the floor. This means you will need to burn lots of gas to compensate for losing lots of heat through attic, walls and windows - big bill! [/QUOTE]
