ectoplasmosis-
I’ve had an investigation and the £30 day is a weird one. The MiL turned the heating down to 15* because it was too hot when I came back from the post box then once the house had got cold she put it back up to 19* I don’t think the pump liked that at all! I think the heaters kicked in and they do burn ££££
The rest of this cold snap have been £20-£21 days, before that £12-£15. I’m coming to the conclusion that MiL has been playing with the thermostat to save money.
I’ve had words and I’ve also lit the wood burner :D Fingers crossed.

This pic was taken at lunchtime 1km or so from my front door.

Not sure if this is a question, a statement, a rant or a cry for help.
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!
