    We don't deliberately try to use so little electricity, we just somehow manage to do so.
    1800 kWh is not really 'so little' for your household set-up. Pretty average, really.

    Going on anecotal evidence from other people we know with similar-ish setups, it's quite a lot lower than them. We're pretty content with it though, could maybe a reduce it a little if we tried.

    Have just worked mine out using reading from today and the same time last year, my average is 17.5UPD. It's a large 4 bedroom house with 2 children (10 and 14) addicted to computer games and TV. Electric cooking and shower but GCH. Nearly always someone in with the TV on most of the day.

    Garden pond pump/filter probably help add to the cost.
