Free software for recording energy usage
Options
Hi all,
I've been looking around for some software which helps record gas and leccy usage, but have come up blank.
I thought it would be good to start to record usage on a monthly basis to help with a number of things.
1. When changing providers it would be easier to calculate annual usage.
2. To use as a comparison with previous months / years.
3. To see if changes to home and usage really makes a difference.
A good example would be that this year I installed radiator reflectors behind all the radiators. It would be interesting to see if next years comparable winter months shows a difference in gas usage.
I know I can just make a note of monthly usages, but spreadsheets are beyond me, and I really thought there would be some free software out there that can record meter readings and throw in a couple of pretty graphs.
Just a thought.....

This will only really give valid results if next Winter is comparably cold! This Winter has been the coldest for 30 years - Is it likely to happen again?!0 -

Of course, there is a big iceberg floating from the Antarctic, We are all going to freeze for the next 10 years.
Global warming has been put on hold until the iceberg melts.
