1. from SP PDF nice Adobe Bills

As well as above, can you check your actual meter and see if the numbers match? 

If you're not sure how to switch between rates, if you can take a picture or tell us what kind of meter it is we should be able to help. 

reads are fine from Meter.
e.g. 11/11 Just Read
4259-Day Rate.
9990-Night Rate

09/11 Cust Read.
4242
9954

thanks

Our gas use in October was above average due to the temperatures, double September in fact.  We went into full winter mode in 2nd week where it is not usually until the last week / first week in November.

Must be due to global warming🤔

Yes, as expected climate change certainly has an effect on seasonal weather.

I think the 'El Nino' is supposed to be causing a colder winter and hotter summer (and drier?) for the next year or two.

These guys are probably due to post another update, but as of late October were still tending to forecast a mild or average Winter.

Is this normal as I don't recall ever needing to pay close to 200 per month Electric Only

How much electricity - day and night - did you use in the same period last year?

What temperature are your DQ SHs set to?

Dandytf said:

216kwh+ Day Rate, 561kwh+ Night Rate

This bill total was 199 approx!

Allowing for £15 of standing charge, that's an average of 23.7p/kWh, which is in the right sort of ballpark for E7 where you're using 2x as much at night as day.

DQ Temps range from 18-22c 22 is over weekend, has been averaging 19/20 when wfh.
2022 isn't fair comparison, though 2 yrs comparison has been posted via another dq thread.

yes 199 seems to be correct, I've cut one hour from start/end times, this morning it was 1.70 cost, without washer dryer overnight.
I'll leave 21 or more to Non wfh days.

thanks

To Add,
DQ only needs 30-40 mins average overnight Storage heating.
Though the Fan is very much busier since BST/GMT.

Fingers crossed. On a forecast note, I never did understand the people who frequent weather forums such as Netweather.tv praying for beast from the east type winters.
