Electricity usage
Options
Does 39 units over 5 days sound a reasonable amount of electricity to use? It is just me and my OH and we live in a 3 bedroom terraced house - both out at work full time. Electric cooker and hob. Water is heated by gas. Don't really know what else to tell but I hope someone can help!
TIA!
TIA!

Yes that's less than the average of 3300kWh per annum.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Pretty low usage IMO. We have really cut down on electricity usage as a family over the last few weeks (over 25% down on same time last year) and we still get through 11 kws per day on average (Winter will see this rise, I suspect). That's on a 4 bedroom (extended) semi with 2 adults and 2 late teens kids, but LOTS of gadgets!

Sounds like a reasonable figure for two people with the electric cooker factored in.Reading this signature is a waste of time0

Hi
I'm averaging 7 to 8 units a day - 3 bed house with 3 adults. But I'm keeping my eye on it!

According to Eon, our house used 18,103 units of electricity last year, which equates to 49 units per day! :eek:
That can't be right can it?0 -

All electric obviously. Cheap to install but expensive to run!:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Am I getting confused with units and kWh? Please tell me I am!
According to Eon, our consumption of kWh for the year was electricity = 18,103; gas = 24,104.
I'm still shocked!0 -

Units of electricity are kWh.
Units of gas read on meters need to be converted into kWh, as that is how you are charged, for the heat value.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Thanks espresso. It seems were using a phenomenal amount of electricity and gas - definitely need to do something about this.0

smanfer, very roughly: multiply gas units x 10.8 to give you kwh0
