When i put my hot water tap on, my gas meter goes at the same speed as when my central heating is on, thus my meter reading is always very high, and i dont use the heating that often. Does anyone know why this is?? It is really bugging me. I have a condensing boiler.

Whether you use hot water or CH, the boiler uses the same burner and will use the same amount of gas at full bore! Only when demand reduces will the gas valve modulate and reduce the flame and therefore the gas consumption.

First responder is correct. The key is not the rotation speed, but how long it lasts. The gas will be on longer for heating the house than for heating your bath water.

Your boiler heats both your hot water and central heating. Thus it's correct that your meter ticks over when you put your hot water on - it heats on demand.

you will desire to be smelling tracer in case you had a leak that undesirable. particular, gas meters can fail, yet i do no longer think of they often malfunction via going swifter. i think somebody mis-study the meter. verify teh numbers on your bill and ascertain they tournament those on the meter.
