I have just received our BG bill and the usage for one month is 5618 kWh which works out at £341.64.
This is for one open plan office with 5 radiators - is this excessive?

    What type pf radiators are they, do you use a timer to control them? The kwh charge does seem to be within the correct charge roughly going off top of my head.

    You could save about £100 by going to a more competitive supplier, Southern Electric for example, but you need to be careful that they don't put the price up as soon as you move.
