    Detached 1970 rural dormer bungalow here with 4 storage heaters in use (sometimes 5 during very cold snaps) + 3 dehumidifiers running for a couple of hours over night during winter. No cavity wall insulation and about 40mm of loft insulation (to be addressed when I get a new roof next year). Here is my avg daily usage per month since I got my smart meter:



  • Our (almost) all electric 2 bed flat used around 800kWh last January. That was also storage heating, immersion, but no solar obviously, and in our case using gas just for cooking.  I appreciate it's not a direct comparison with your house type bit it will give you an idea of what you might be expecting during the colder weather.
