Just been calculating my gas and electric usage. 4 adults in an end of terrace, standard gas fired heating with a non combi boiler and an open fire in lounge, tumble dryer used about 2-4 hours a week, PC left on 24/7 all energy saving bulbs, heating was on 24/7 on 20 degrees over the coldest period at xmastime.we have used:

Sept - April.

Gas: £646.54

Elec: £479.06

Can see that usage has dropped lot over last few weeks:

16/12/08 - 13/02/09 (8 weeks)

gas = £276.58 elec £171.99

14/02/09 - 01/04/2009 (6 weeks)

gas = £128.30 elec £113.81

is this reasonable? On BG click online 6.

Family of six - more careful than you if I remember correctly from a previous thread.

Last six months:

Gas 19611kwh = £589
Elec 2516kwh = £277

I'm quite pleased with that as we were paying about £1600 a year and I think we'll be under that now.

Cheers Magentasue,yeh I am well aware that our usage is above some peoples, but I cant do any more to make the others save energy, I have BANNED the heating now, and I am going to go round turning everything off at the plug at nighttime or when not in use, see if that makes a difference. i know that we will catch up with what we are in debit over the summer, but I really would like to enter autumn with a credit balance rather than a big fat zero!
