Electricity meter

We have been moved on four about 4 days now. What would be or is a normal amount of kwh for electricity for about 3 days?.
We have used 13 kwh so far and just wondered because. Immersion heater is not on and boiler controls for water have not been on much but we still have hot water. Just don't want a huge bill!
Thanks for any help

Need a bit more information than that. Like is the immersion heater just a backup to gas fired hot water, for example. How big is the house, how many people occupy it, how you cook, type of shower etc. etc.
Personally, I'd be very happy with only using 13kWh of electricity in 3 days, but that is totally irrelevant unless you know what I'm powering with electricity.

As victor2 says, a lot more information is needed.

Monitor the usage for a couple of weeks. Is there any reason you would use more electricity seasonally? Of course there are more darker hours in the winter, but with energy saving lightbulbs, this may not have much effect, but if you don't have these (or worse still lots of electric hungry spot lights) then it could be a lot more usage.
Do you run air conditioning units during the summer?
Do you use a tumble drier more in the winter
etc.

The average medium usage is 3300kwh of electricity per year (when you also have gas)


How are you currently obtaining hot water if not heating it by the immersion or gas boiler? :huh:
