High gas usage
Hi,
Could anyone give me some advice please?
My gas usage is coming up really high, I live in a 3 bedroom semi-detached house, the third bedroom being a loft conversion and is not used as its just me, and 2 young children who share a bedroom, my meter reading for gas from the 17/11/22 were 38779 and my meter readings for today 02/02/23 are 40044, with it being cold I have the heating on low for around 3-6 a day and off all night, I have an electric cooker and gas hob and the bath is filled two or three times a day depending, I'm just wondering if this is normal or if there's a fault somewhere maybe with the boiler or the gas meter?

3-6 hours heating
3 baths a day
Others will know more than me I'm no expert just my opinion
Is the loft space heated? And what is the insulation above it like?
Is the loft space open or does it have a door/hatch?
How do these readings compare with the same period last year?
Remember that the very cold snap that affected pretty much the entire country will have dramatically increased the energy used for heating during that period too.
