Rayburn running costs.

Forget the conjecture - these are the real costs.

There  is  a  Rayburn  that  runs  on  almost  every  fuel,  and  one  to  suit  most  sizes  of  home.  For  Rayburn  models  that  provide  hot  water  or  hot  water  and  heating,  you'll  need  to  consult  one of our qualified  heating  engineer  who  can  calculate  running  costs  based  on  the  size  and  type  of  home.

If  you're  wondering  how  much  it  will  cost  to  run  a  cooker only  Rayburn  (Cookmaster  or  XT),  here's  a  handy  table  that  shows  the  energy  consumption  and  running  costs  based  on  energy  prices  as  of  October  2008.  It  costs  surprisingly  little  to  run  a  Rayburn,  and  these  figures  are  based  on  running  the  Rayburn  for  five  hours  in  the  evening  -  providing  all  the  cooking  you  need  along  with  5  hours  of  warmth  into  the  kitchen.

Five  hours  of  operation  in  the  evening.
