How was your November?

The_Green_Hornet

November gas usage for the past six years in a well insulated 2 Bed 1980s Mid Terraced House.

2022: 625 kWh
2021: 937 kWh
2020: 837 kWh
2019: 1049 kWh
2018: 560 kWh (10 day holiday)
2017: 1088 kWh

This year's 33 percent reduction mainly due to the mild weather.

Modern 3 bed detatched - 4 adults.

Leccy - 147kwh
Gas - 650 kwh

IHS says £252 for the month - we pay about £200 DD so with the £66 credit just about keeping ahead - as of today there is £558 in credit with another £266 about to hit the account to day - so looking ok at the moment.

Our first winter in the new house, having been in an old, listed property (1820) that didn't hold heat at all.

New House (Room temps of 18-19c all day)
Electricity = 427kwh (We heat water overnight with immersion, so higher than it could be but overnight is Go rate)
Gas = 1015kwh

Old house (Heating at 17c for a few hours a day)
Electric = 400kwh
Gas = 3891kwh

I'm pleased we moved to a new A rated house.

Gas use is just for cooking so pretty static. However, pleasantly surprised on the electric front:

Nov. 2021 573kWh
Nov. 2022 237kWh

Big chunky difference there - due mostly I suspect to heating having gone on a lot earlier in 2021 than in 2022! For the first three weeks of November we were using average 42kWh per week - that spiked to 112kWh in week four though!

3 Bed Detached 1930's build

2 adults 2 kids

Electric 293.8kWh
Gas 1928.6kWh

Unfortunately we bought the house and it is not well insulated, 100mm loft insulation no cavity of floor insulation so a lot of investment needed to get the gas figure down

Slightly older build (1928/9) and no children.

Electricity - 175KWh

Gas - 270KWh

Plenty of insulation up in the loft, have just had the last few windows & door replaced, and slowly working on insulating the walls.

House did come with Economy 7 - there never was any storage heating, so no idea why this was.

You dont need storage heaters to have economy 7.   Many people are on E7 because it works out better for them (ourselves included)

However now use timers etc on washing machine, bread maker and dishwasher to make the most of this. Currently save about £3 per month over standard tariff.

And as you appear to have measured day and night use vs single rate, you can see why some people do it without storage heaters.

Electricity November 178 kWh (November 21 was 215 kWh)

That is higher than I would have thought. That is about 5.7kWh per day.   We are heavy users and get towards 8-10kWh a day.  Daily dishwasher, washing machine and tumble, work from home office with three computers and 8 monitors etc.

I suspect you may be able to find some savings in there.  Possibly certain devices of yours are using more than you realise.

I'm on oil so cannot compare with the gas but it only dropped one bar in November.   I normally fill up to full in January, March and October.   However, I am on track to get to late December. Meaning that we are about 1000 litres lower in use this year.   Luckily a mild Winter and Spring earlier in the year and a mild Autumn recently.  Although, I also set the radiators and water to 2 time periods instead of the default of 3 and turned the thermastat down to 20.5c from 21c.  I tried 20c but didn't get away with it.

This was my mothers energy bill for November, her usage last November bill was 117 that same usage this year costs 280 so she has actually used less than last year.

2 Bed 1905 well insulated property. 
Leccy 185kwh in November. Don't have Gas figures to hand. 

Our property was a reno from a commercial building. Completely different layout and more floor space to the rest of the street. Was like a new house inside back in 2015.
