How 'average' is £10 per week for electricity?

Swipe

Just me in a 3 bed rural detached bungalow, all electric. 2 split unit 3.5kw air to air heat pumps and a 5kw multifuel stove. Total usage for year less than 3000kwh. Averages out at approx £28/month so £6.50/week. I heat one room to 20C and the rest of the house to around 13C. At work from 8am - 5pm, 5 days a week.

Assume for the purposes of the thread we are talking about an all electric supply, i.e. no gas or oil. Also 'family' covers people with children or without.

The options are:

Spend £10 per week one/two bedroom -single person

Spend £10 per week one/two bedroom - family

Spend £10 per week three+ bedroom - single person

Spend £10 per week three+ bedroom - family

Couldn't live off £10 per week - single person

Couldn't live off £10 per week - family



Clearly there will be huge variations but a ballpark idea would be good.

All electric 3 bed semi, 2 people in, one of them all day long. We don't go out of our way to be energy conscious and last years energy bill was £602 or about £11.70 a week

I do spend less than £10 a week when averaged over the year. Electric only but with an unused gas supply which gets me a further £50 off the annual bill.

For £10 a week I would get 7,000kWh per year 70% at night East Midlands. Npower Price Protector tariff.
2,100kWh Day units 728kWh@25.893p and 1,372kWh@ 15.908p
4,900kWh Night units @4.715p
Less Discounts of £105 per year. Total bill £532.80 or £10.25 per week.

I always seems to use much less than 7,000kWh per year though.

when my fiancee shared a 2 bed flat with her sister they paid £60-odd a month for electric. i spent about 3 months being there half the week and useage didnt change. probably didnt help that the landlord wouldnt let them change supplier or tarriff, might not have brought it down to £10 a week but might have given them a fair shot at it. they didnt own a dryer, well they had a washer/dryer but i never saw it being used and part of the time i was there was when my pipes were frozen
