[QUOTE="AAAMUSEMENTS, post: 73347, member: 5001"] We have an oil fired Esse range which costs a small fortune to run. No gas out here! I also have to do all repairs and servicing myself as no-one will: a: Travel out here b: Touch the thing anyway. None of them understand it anyway, even though it runs a fairly modern pressure jet burner (unlike the older Aga/Rayburns that I believe used a wick?) It also suffers from a cold stack, which is not helped by the on/off nature of the firing! In the summer we decommission and switch to economy seven water heating. To run it throughout the warmer months would be ridiculous... We are also having a stove installed (wood) to supplement heating and reduce costs, and for full heating in the Autumn/Spring. Having said all this, you should be ok with your gas fired Rayburn - [I]as long as you are on mains gas![/I] [/QUOTE]
