what is the average kwh use per day for electric

dexterwolf

I know everyone has different circumstances but roughly how many kWh a easy in electric do you use ?. I know someone many say , its hard because every case is different but any ideas. I am using between 6/8 a day.

Funnily enough I have just worked mine out after getting latest statement, over last year I have used just under 5 a day as an average, I think thats pretty low isn't it?

Just over 4kwh a day for me (1500kwh/year), I do have gas though so that figure excludes heating/hot water and some cooking (gas hob but electric oven)

Mine is probably a bit more as we have an electric shower

Blimey we are quite the guzzlers.
Works out about 13 units a day, but that is with someone home pretty much all the time.
I suspect the two large tropical fish tanks don't help.

I work average use out in 2 different ways.

Firstly, the average 3 bed property uses around 14-16UPD

the second method is to allocate 6UPD to each person living in the property above 8yrs old.

Anyone using single digits is doing well btw

The average, medium usage where a customer also has another fuel such as gas is 3300kWh per year.

average is < 5 units a day. All electric house and at home all day. Solar thermal for hot water

We use around 8-9 a day for a family of 4, thats with an electric oven and a very old freezer that we haven't replaced yet.

Impossible to answer without knowing how you heat and hot water the property. Presumably in your case you have gas CH and DHW?
1,825kWh pa is about half the national average for a property with the above.

1800 kWh for me and OH, so around 5/day. 2-bed terrace, combi boiler so gas CH and hot water, gas cooker and hob, we're out at work in the daytime.
Energy saving bulbs everywhere, inc LED in the kitchen, so negligible power consumption. Television on a few hours per evening, chargers for laptop, tablets, phones etc constantly on, standard fridge and freezer. We don't deliberately try to use so little electricity, we just somehow manage to do so.
