    We live in a chalet bungalow that’s around 2,5sqft, we have an ASHP. We changed from an oil burning system. We know we need to fit some larger rads, but there’s not a whole lot of wall space, big windows etc. it’s fully insulated, but…
    … over this cold snap our a daily electric cost @ 29.21p is averaging at £27 a day and we hit £32 the other day. The temp is set at a not crazy 19* there’s an older person in the house. The stats on the controller are showing a 3 or 1 on energy in heat out. Is this crazy or I’m I just getting obsessed with looking at our smart meter? I don’t look at it normally tbh.
    I put a consumption plug thing on a 3,000watt oil rad at work that’s on 24hrs a day in a room with 3 others and it used £17.50 a day on its own so that’s £70 a day to heat that one room. This has made me feel slightly better, but not much.
    Edit;
    I’ve also just discovered that the heated airer has been on, as has the tumble dryer and the dehumidifier. Fuck me oldies hey!

    Shiiiiiiit

  • If you're short on wall space, look into triple panel rads. Huge BTU ratings for not a large amount of real estate

  • £30/day, shitting Christ! There’s something seriously fucked, even with all the tumble drying…
