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

I feel really sad for those people who cannot afford to keep warm in their own homes.  I was talking to a woman on the bus yesterday & got the impression she was utilising her senior pass to just ride around on the bus all day & keep warm.

They seem to have turned the heat down quite a bit on the local buses...

We used 48kwh of leccy to heat the place costing £9.77 at 20.35p/kwh

1986 3 bed detached bungalow  (140m2) out in the Cambridgeshire fens. Good insulation in loft, questionable insulation in the walls and 1999 vintage double glazing.

All rooms sit at around 20 degrees as they are all in use. Overlay underfloor heating with 11kw Daikin heatpump (15 years old with weather compensation). Average temp in rooms is around 20 degrees and yesterdays outside temp never got above -5.

Flow temperature reached 38 degrees at -5 outside. Overnight temp was around -8 and the flow temp is set back by 4 degrees overnight (21:30 to 06:00) so the room temps have dropped down to around 18.5 when we get up in the mornings. It takes till around 10am before the place is back up to temp

An 1820s end house here with 4 floors. Yesterday heating cost £8 something. My gas bills are high, my electricity bills are low. I don't like being cold so don't mind spending on heating.

Your heat pump used all of that?

The thermostat for the UFH is set to 19-21°. Heating upstairs is set to 18°, and the water is 50°.

And then it's the lights and other basic household things. That's why I'm looking at solar panels.

So the 43kWh is not all heat pump, so not the cost of heating.

Just so we're clear.

Otherwise your heat pump appears less efficient than it could be.

My 4 bedroom detached house with a heat pump used 23kWh yesterday at the same indoor temperatures.

That's why I asked.

UFH is underfloor heating. I don't know how it's possible to tell which is heating and which is lights or microwave? how did you determine the heat pump in isolation?

My gas is stove only and I didn't use it on Sunday.
