    So, in just under 5 days I have used 123 General & Lighting units.


    Is that high, given the equipment I've listed?


    I guess it is as I'm guessing it is the equivalent of a 1KW electric heater on non-stop, day and night.


    Something must be wrong here. We don't own any heaters.

    The latest bill is 15% less in terms of consumption than the same period last year, and this might be due to your efforts to make savings. Keep it up.

    Not sure. I don't think we could cut down any more than we have. Could equally be due to the very mild autumn (although it still gets dark same time and the computers and fridges are still on).


    Maybe the heating is having a larger impact than we thought and the mild weather is intervening in matters.

    I will get those.

    More importantly... How do you put an image in a post, please?

    You need to host your image on an image hosting site e.g. tinypic.com, imgur.com or imageshack.com and then simply copy the link to your image into your post on the forum and it will be displayed.

    Oh gawd!!


    More ruddy complications (I thought computers were going to simplify our lives).


    Was hoping I could just upload or even cut n paste.


    Thanks, anyway.


    PS. My smilie inserts don't work.

    Your General Power and Lighting is down as well as your E20 heating, so that suggests some savings.
    Your average Power and Lighting over the last 12 months is 17 kWh/day and yes that is still high given your breakdown. That's why getting your half hourly profile online would be so useful. You should be able to see consumption that is steady - fridges & freezers, and those which are occasional - washing machines, hot water and heating.

    Fear is such a wonderful motivator, isn't it. LOL
