stripes 401 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The cost of electric is the biggest killer here its just had a rise of 30%, within the last two months the usage of the oil boiler has added an extra euro onto my electric bill, the dirty fookers no when to put on the rise (30%) in the winter months.. does anybody know at what cost the tube heaters are to run, thanks.
