Long shot but is there anything I can claim as I have a C-Pap machine which runs overnight. 

Any help with the electricity bill would be helpful. 

Thanks,

Maybe your energy provider runs some sort of scheme like watersure by water companies, I can't think of anything else.

I would imagine running costs are pretty small anyway. What is the energy rating on the unit in watts? With that figure it should be simple enough to work out what it costs to run.

I would imagine the unit to consume no more than 60/70w max.... at 60w it would run for 16 hours and consume 1 unit of electricity.... so for me that would be approx 13p per night (8 hours)... £47 per year

kaMelo

Slightly less @ 60w for 8 hrs a night.

60x8x365 = 175,200

/1000 = 175.2 kwh

X 24.5 pence = £42.82 per year

£3.58 per month

11.7 pence per night.

Uses so little that it's not worth the effort. Have been using one for 4 years now and any extra power used gets hidden in the normal fluctuations of usage

The actual cost will depend on what region and whether Economy 7 (which would make it miles cheaper) but yeah, in the low teens of pennies per night which works out even in the most expensive region* at well under £50/year. 

*London, 25.72p/kWh at current price cap
