Rayburns are all about choice and flexibility.

Some models are designed to burn continuously and are adjustable between idling and higher burning rates, whilst others are intended to be used as on/off cookers, fully programmable for intermittent use.

Therefore it is difficult to generalise on or predict fuel consumption, taking into account the variable factors such as amount of usage and size of heating system etc, which will vary considerably from household to household.

The following figures are chosen as typical examples of average fuel consumption and may be of assistance.

Figures quoted are approximate over a 24 hour period.
