All-Electric daily unit averages

Hi

I recently moved into an all electric flat with the dreaded panel heater/economy 7 set up, so I'm trying to be sparing until I can replace the panel heaters for smart storage ones. I have lived in all electric before but not with this set up, so hoping to compare my averages with others in all-electric with panel/convector heaters.

When I first moved in about 6 weeks ago I was blissfully ignorant I was burning through 20 units a day, with about 6 night units used. Since discovering the abysmal panel heater/economy 7 I've managed to get my usage down to 8-12 day units (night units average around 6 due to the immersion heating overnight)

I would really like to hear from those who also have an electric only place with panel heaters, to see if I'm overdoing it still. Once I can get the heaters replaced with NSH my usage will be a lot better I am hoping!
