Just got my bill through and was wondering if someone could tell me how this usage is - I'm trying to cut down, and keep a close eye on it
It says "How much do I use every day?" Gas - 21.8kwh, and Electric 3.2kwh - is this high or low?!
and in the last 12 months usage is Gas - 6123 kwh and electric 1248 kwh

    Your usage is extremely low, even for a small property. Typical 3 b/r house with gas CH would be using around 3 times that amount.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    That's good :)

    I'm in a 2 bed new-but-not-so-new build (20 years old or thereabouts), my last 12 months usage: 7858kwh gas and 1609kwh electricity, though as I work from home, I'm in most of the day.
