    You should be asking "How may kWh are you using daily?" as units depend on the type of meter.

    Well you need to! Electric meters register kWh, however a unit on an imperial gas meter is approx three times as many kWh as a unit on a metric meter. Gas meter units mean nothing, it's the kWh used that you need to compare.

    Aug to Oct 08 - averaged 41 kWh

    In July it was 16 kWh

    This is 4 for adults (my 2 eldest are 20 and 24yo), and 2 children. We don't have baths, only showers, but we often have to put on the boiler to get more hot water.

    You have a metric meter, then. If you muliply units by 11, you'll get approx kwh.

    Ours is quite high, even in summer, because there are six of us, no shower so baths only. We cook by gas too.

    I got my bills out and worked it from there. We are 2 adults and 1 child. We have gas shower and gas cooker. My direct debit is £20 mth
  • Last week averaged 33 kwh per day - got a feeling this weeks may be higher!!!

    This is for 2 adults and 2 children in a four bed semi - with constant battles with the OH to keep the thermostat down!!

    Summer months averaged about 8kWh/day, crept up to about 18kWh/day as heating on a bit now
