We moved into a house which has a boiler + a water cylinder with 27” immersion heater (from 2001) as well as a cold water tank in the loft. The boiler is a Proterton Promax HE from 2002 The cylinder is an Albion Since we moved here we have been surprised by our electricity consumption which is massive. I am wondering if this is due to our water cylinder / hot water set up. Would you be able to tell me if the water tank is constantly warming the water? Since we are only 2 in the house, would it be possible to turn off the hot water cylinder system and rely only on the boiler to warm the water?
