Scottish Power bill high (not first post about this)

Your sleap apnea machine - if fairly modern could be using 50-100W per hour - so non trivial - 0.4kWh - 0.8kWh for an 8 hour night.

That will add at the upper range maybe 150-300 kWh per year.

And I guess most of it at your meter night register.

I guess if its an older clunky NHS supplied beast it could be even more.

But given you have gas HW for tap ?

But don't discount the electric shower  - 1x10 min per day - at 9kW rating - 1.5kWh = 550 kWh per year too.

Many folk with gas might have tank or simple combi fed mixer showers - so that would drop out of the median 2700 kWh cap TDCV too.

It sounds like you might have a combi boiler - rather than a HW tank boiler - again the model number would help.

Is there any other heating - maybe a large electric towel rail in the bathroom - that might be using a lot of power - at least part of the year.

If your gas is only £15 a month surely your heating is electric? The amounts quoted don’t sound that bed then especially if you’re keeping the flat quite warm.
