  • Electric bill question. My bill came in for three months at £374. My friend has exactly the same house - his was £213. Similar family arrangements etc.
    Is there something I could use to track my usage etc to try and work out why the big difference?
    NB same electric provider etc

  • Do you have a smart meter?

    If not just take a reading every day from your meter, it’s easy to work out how much gas your using when you calculate it!

    Your friend could also be in a different tariff too, so you’d need to know that and what there standing charge is tio

  • Probably the main thing to think about is the big power consumers: ovens, heaters, electric shower, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, hoover, etc.

    £50 a month difference is something like 6kwh per day difference. A dishwasher, washing machine, etc probably uses about 2kwh per cycle (obviously lots of variation depending on model and mode).

    If you want to get down into it then try buying something like this
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B831STBX/ and plug them into various stuff, put in your electricity cost and see how much they cost to run.

  • Heating bill question.

    This is why everyone is confused.
