Can this be right? Annual Electric Usage 10,597kWh

Is that annual usage figure from your statements, and are there any estimated readings involved?
Get some actual readings as close to 12 months apart as you can, and the difference between them is your usage for that period.
If it is that high, take meter readings daily for a while and try switching breakers off on you consumer unit (aka fusebox) for a few hours or overnight and see how it affects your readings. The contents of a fridge/freezer will survive it being off for several hours, just don't forget to switch it back on!

Some research done suggests fitting a programmable thermostat (where you can set different temperatures throughout the day/week) can save up to 15%. In reality, for most people, the saving is likely to be around 5%, so still worth it. I think I saved around 10% when I installed my smart thermostat (part of a home automation system).
