Our electricity consumption has been out of control for over a year now. Januarys bill was over £600
I've had several extra meters fitted to try and pinpoint the bleed but the only thing left is lights and they are all LED
On average the house is consuming the following per day:

On average the house is consuming the following per day:
55kw overall
31kw ASHP
4kw downstairs sockets
4kw kitchen sockets
3kw utility room sockets
2kw upstairs sockets
1kw induction hob
Immersion, Gate, Garage are all less than 1kw per week
Leaves me with around 12kw per day that's unaccounted for.
Any idea anyone?

Oven? That is on a separate circuit to the rest of the kitchen.It's kWh, by the way.0

Describe your house to us please - number of rooms, age of house, number of people, heating
I think you mean KWh rather than KW
? heating - circulation pump - shower
If you are actually using the immersion - think again
Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
Where are you getting the ASHP consumption figure from and can you check it over an extended period?
The ASHP is likely to be the largest consumer and perhaps it has been working extra hard over the past two or three months through the coldest part of the year.0 -
Does the ASHP use the immersion heater to do the weekly legionella cycle?
