Advice from electric only heating users...?

Hi All

Can anyone here who has electric only in their house/flat give me an idea of how much your electricity usage and cost is?

What cycle do you have on your heaters, i.e. how long are they on for in morning and evening, not sure if mine are on too long or not.

Likewise how long do you heat water for?

Thanks
David

    You need to say what sort of heaters, how many and whether you have Economy 7. Also, hot water for how many people?

    Your heating is on too long if either you can't afford your bills, or you are keeping the place so warm you are able to walk around in a t-shirt. I dress for the season around the home, heating no more than two hours a day and my bills are correspondingly low.
