July, August and September 2012

Boiler running well over the summer mainly for hot water. Ash levels down and no soggy soot in the baffles so far. Usage higher than last year probably due to the rubbish summer.

 
April, May and June 2012

Used a lot less pellets in the warm weather in March than we used in April. Turned the heating off completely when we went on holiday. It fired up ok when we returned and soon got the house up to a liveable temperature. Regular cleaning and ash removal seems to be keeping it running well.

Boiler serviced in June and optimised for Puffin Pellets. Found that the chimney had som water in it due to the plug being left on at the base. This may have caused the build up of damp soot in the baffles. Time will tell.
