Daily usage on 3 bedroom house with E7 all elcetric.

edmond

After getting my last energy bill from Powergen i decided to keep a record of my daily usage to see if it is worth changing supplier.
I have a 3 bedroom house with storage heaters, E7 billing, 2 adults and 2 under 3's.
Everything is electric, i have a gas supply but do not use it.
for the last month my avergae daily useage has been 14 units usage peak and 29 units night time. thats 43 units a day. does this sound to much or would this be right for a house and family of this size?
I am thinking of moving over to Scotish Power and there capped rate till 2011

For an all electric house that sounds quite reasonable. Your "daytime" usage is very similar to mine - I have gas for hot water & central heating.

Gas is a much cheaper way of heating your house, but in your case you would have to fork out a considerable sum to get gas C/H installed.
Certainly go for the cheapest supplier !

Why not?

Gas is about 3p /kwh so is almost certain to be cheaper than the cheapest electric, even taking into account in-efficiencies.

i realise gas is cheaper than electric but i cannot afford to have central heating installed.
