This month's electricity usage is going to be higher than normal for lots of families having children home for 2 weeks.
Need to encourage my children to actually go out these holidays!!Make £2023 in 2023 (#36) £3479.30/£2023
Make £2024 in 2024...0 -
My smart meter goes in to the red in the evening when it thinks I have used more energy than the budget. Since the new rates have gone to the meter it seems to be in the red for a lot longer(unsurprsingly). Presumably that can't be adjusted. About £6 for a day with two people here and similar usage to OP except the heating only comes on twice.1

I assume you can alter the budget within the IHD. Just set it to £20 a day, then you'll always be under budget!giraffe69 said:My smart meter goes in to the red in the evening when it thinks I have used more energy than the budget.

Good time to teach children about energy usage and saving and make it a game?annabanana82 said:This month's electricity usage is going to be higher than normal for lots of families having children home for 2 weeks.
