I have used 7.5kwh per day average since I moved in almost 2 months ago, is that good/bad/normal?

    Not sure how that can be sufficient if there all day. 
    Some people are made of sterner (or meaner?) stuff. I rarely have the heating on in my house, I only have the hot water on because the gym is closed.

    The flat uses elec for heating and I would say I have had it on an hour or two per day at most; usually in the morning and evening time.

    Lol, well the ambient temp is 14 degrees according to my thermometer so I am not 'toughing it out' I don't think. Probably good insulation in the building to keep the heat in? It is a new build from 2017, I believe, so maybe they did well on that front?

    14 degrees is definitely toughing it out as far as I'm concerned.  Our heating is set to 20 C during the day and 15 C at night.  Your 30 minute shower works out as around 5 of your 7.5 kwh.
