    Got my bill and it was £104. 735 kWh on the night rate came to £65! I'm on the best tariff Octopus could give me at the time (I switched from edf in July) but i will look at alternatives. My son is only 5 and knows not to play with switches but i will remind him nonetheless!

    They are. I currently have input at 4 and output on 1. There are also wall mounted electric heaters in the bedrooms but i don't use those.


    While the weather isn't that cold try reducing the input setting on the storage heaters, and keep taking daily readings. In theory you can have a lower setting now, and the higher setting when its colder.
