How much did you spend to keep your house warm today/

GrubbyGirl_2

I spent over £10 but then I keep the rooms that I use nice and warm and my heating is on all day as I am home and even overnight I don't let it fall below 18 degrees.  Much depends on what temperature your thermostat is on and when you actually have the heating on so you can't really compare people's spends.  As my house is very well insulated I find there is very little difference in keeping the house warm than letting it get cold and having to have the heating on full blast to get it warm again.

I don't have yesterday's figures yet. but Saturday and Sunday (3rd and 4th) were similarly snowy and cold and cost me £9.01 and £9.06 respectively which equates to around 160KWh of gas.

That is for a 4 bed detatched with traditional radiators pluse a 50m2 rear extension with underfloor heating, both run from a 20+ year old Potterton Suprima 60 system boiler which uses 23KW (£1.10) of gas per hour when running flat out.

We keep the heating on 24/7 at around 19C, but will tend to drop it to around 17.5C overnight.

Less than it would have cost me to commute.

Four bedroom detached house in Suffolk. Heating an all glass conservatory too.

Daikin air source heat pump.

Heated to 21c downstairs and 18c upstairs, 24 hours a day.

Cost yesterday on IOG with battery storage was £1.80 for heating and DHW.

23.4kWh of electricity and and 82.4kWh of heat, COP of 3.52 at average -2c for the day. About 2.2p per kWh

Currently -7c outside and COP is 3.45 and heating the house quite happily consuming 1kW of electricity.

Would have cost about £5.50 on a standard electricity tariff so about 6.7p per kWh, not much more than gas on the worst day so far on the worst electricity tariff.

And for anybody who remembers the noise concerns that Ipswich Borough Council's Environmental Officer had about noise, when I left home at 06.00 this morning it was -7c and the heat pump was practically silent from 3 metres away.

£10/day is our usual gas useage in winter.  We have 4 bed house but the 4th bed is convrted garage.  It's a warm house but the residents are not always efficiency-savvy so there's windows etc left open sometimes.  But we like to keep a window cracked just for ventilation and prevent mould.  I wouldn't say ours is excessive for a busy house, but deffo on the higher end of what most will be paying

Yesterday telling me £0.00, but was on yesterday for an hour.

Old mid terrace house.

Just looked at thermosat by window, showing 10.5 😳, I don't feel it as I have an oodie on.

Late 1940's terraced 3 bed here - and we were out through the day yesterday. Heating on Morning and evening plus hot water used 52.59kWh gas - £2.66 plus SC according to the octopus app. Sunday when we were in most of the day was 63.62kWh and £3.54 + SC - that was also supplemented with the fire being lit in the evening. 

It was cold enough this morning that the heating kicked in half an hour early as the temperature at the thermostat had dropped below 14 degrees. Temperature outside was -6.

Feeling pretty jealous of everyone. I'm in a poorly insulated 1 bed former council flat with electric only.

Heating set to come on in the morning, and I'll put in on to 18.5c a few times a day - rest of the time I'm wrapping up warm, using an electric blanket + running a dehumidifier. Usually spending about £7 a day and that's with the erroneously cheap April v1 Octopus Tracker.

Rural, detached, averagely insulated, bungalow with ASHP. Sunday used 33.9kWh of electricity, so about 30kWh for heating. Whole house is heated, 24 hours, with temperature set back a couple of degrees overnight. Cost was £6.36 for the heating at an average cost of 20.2p/kWh on Agile.

Not looking forward to Monday's result, as Agile price was unusually high and the temperature was down to minus 9.5 degrees, for most of the evening, and well below freezing all day. I did anticipate this a bit, and set the thermostat a degree lower, and was plenty warm enough. The total consumption, when I went to bed, was a bit higher than Sunday, but I think the unit cost will be the killer. I shall find out this evening, when the official score comes in.
