jdal said:Just an update ...we're now on an average of 7.5KwH a day from 14KwH. That's 2372.5 KwH per year. BG predicted rate for October onward is about £0.4 per KwH. That's a saving of £964.That's a useful reduction, well done! Once you realise the potential benefits, this energy-saving thing can become a bit of a habit ...
Plus a couple of smaller things, eg discovered that the coffee filter machine uses .45kw to keep the jug hot, so we just stick a tea cosy over the jug and microwave if it gets too cold.
When we last replaced our coffee machine, in 2019, we chose one with a vacuum-insulated jug rather than a hotplate. The coffee stays warm without damaging the flavour *and* you use less electricity.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.
