single person daily electric usage too high?

Fridges and freezers can be expensive to run. Do you need both? Buy a plug in monitor to find out what they are using.

Hello MSE fellow members,

I had been monitoring my electricity usage for 3 months since November 2017.
I use 746 kWh for 120 days, this is 6.2kWh per day.
This is not high compared to what national average is. However, my point is, I seldom stay at home, with above usage, I doubt I am using 6.2kWh per day.

Appreciate you could help me identify what is draining my electricity?

Hi. Did you happen to use Christmas lights during December? It's just I had various things plugged in that month and my usage over this period was quite high because of the decorations/lights.

How dare you criticise my cooking or OH's? You have never tried it. Your opinion is just that. Mine is different.

I was referring to the hob elements which don`t cook evenly as the link details. I m sure your/ohs cooking is quite up to standard.

Gotcha! And yes, we like it which is all that matters. I reserve the right to dislike gas cookers and yes, we have a gas boiler... We don't use it for cooking though.
