How much less gas and electricity?

st999

Given that the past winter has been a lot milder than previous winters how much gas and electricity have you saved?

I've used the same electricity but used 13% less gas from October to the end of March, when I've had my heating on, compared to the same time in 2014 - 2015.

Significantly less.

Scottish Power very conveniently gives the one year consumption figure up to each statement.

Electricity


1st April 2016 4,589.243 kWh

The following unit rates exclude VAT:

Due to the newly cheap gas unit rate, I notched the heat up to 22 degrees. The floor board starting shrinking, and gaps showed. My lips cracked open in sympathy. You can't win.
