High electric cost in 1 bed flat
My wife and myself live in a one bedroom flat that is all electric. We use a prepayment meter and I just got our yearly use statement. Here are the figures-10165 kwh used and £1485. It is a very small flat and to me this amount is insane. What is the normal amount used in a flat this size in England?? We live in Essex.
