What are you doing to use 60kWh in a day that isn't heating?dunstonh said:We pay about £3264 a year for electricity (heating is oil - so apart from the pump, the heating is not electric).
In proper terms, that is about 14,800 kWH per year. A typical low day is about 7kWh and a typical high day is 60kWh.0 -
£160 a month for 6 months £960 wouldn't be terrible, But it could likely be far cheaper if you changed to single rate from E7 day/night, And to Octopus tracker tariff with a smart meter, if you a have good signal for the smart meter.
What is the usage in KWH for the last 6 months? What date was the new heater installed?0 -
AGA uses about 37 kW, PHEV uses about 12 kW, The other 8-11 kWh per day is general use, stable, paddock & arena lighting and security cameras.Moneysavingchap said:

Circa 75% of the use is off-peak.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.1
