hi all last meter reading I gave npower was on the 29th October. they read as follows
DAY 46630
NIGHT 42676
today I took a normal monthly read and it read
DAY 46852
NIGHT 44110
so only 222 used day units in a month plus a few days
with night I used 1434 units
does that sound about right roughly for a about a month n 5 days ish useage for this time of year?, not a heavy user in days as u can see. but night its mainly tv n computer the latter is left on from 9am till 9pm at night at times, (I know there are other factors etc) just wondering if any others have a similer read whos on economy 7

The night storage heaters must be on and using about 40 kWh a night.Getting forgetful, if you think I've asked this before I probably have. :rotfl:0

is that average for this time of year? or on the high side? we have 4 storage heaters so is 40kwh a day usage (all electric) the norm?0
-
Why do you think they are odd? If anything they are on the low side. Are they keeping you warm?0

Hi NittyGritty,
It can be difficult to compare energy usage from one household to another as your appliances are unique to you and how you use them.
If you do have concerns about the energy you are using you can speak with our specialist Energy Efficiency Team on 0800 022 220 or 0330 100 8620 for advice.
Thanks
