How much do you spend per day

oxfordmark

Hello

I have been doing some morning readings (How much credit is left on prepayment meter) And for about 7 hours of heating and hot water, we spend about £2 a day.. Is this good or expensive?

Gas, Electricity?

i guess it depends how hot your heating is

We spend between virtually nothing on hot days to maybe £3 per day on cold days - my average is around just over a pound per day

Depends how cold it is - i change the thermostat daily and change the radiator valves dependent upon how much there is someone in the house

Averages again are:
8am-3pm - 18 degrees
3-6 - 19 degrees
6-10.30 - 20/21 degrees
10.30-8 - 15 degrees

We only have the radiators on:

6am - 8am
8am - 5pm - off
5pm - 9pm
9pm - 6am - off

Are you on prepayment?

No - plus we have very good insulation and are very economical with hot water etc

I just rang BG, they did a rebill for me. Over last 8 days:

Gas = £20.55 = £2.57 per day

Electric = £12.55 = £1.56 per day.

4 bedroom house. 4 adults, 1 cat. Someone in the house for approx 18 hours a day mimumum at the moment, heating on for 10 hours a day on 20 - 25 degrees and an open fire, burning for 7 hours a day.

The length of time the radiators are on is only one factor - the temps that they kick in at and switch off at also affects usage. You'd probably get a wider range of replies if you said how many kwh you use a day - most of us who pay by DD or quarterly look at the amount of gas used rather than the daily cost.

So if we pay about £2 for 7 hours.. thats not too bad.. seeing as were on PP
