@ectoplasmosis - making the switch to Tomato at start of Feb. On their "Lifestyle Tariff" with costs at:
1:00AM – 6:00AM = 5.004p/KW
9:30AM – 11:30AM = 13.374p/KW
8:30PM – 10:30PM = 13.374p/KW
Remaining hours of the day = 22.15p/KW
Daily Charge = 40.82p/dayWith an ASHP being installed our electricity will obvs increase. But we're paying loads for Gas/Elec at peak hours with Octopus (yesterday combined Gas and Elec was ~£20 and this is with me constantly turning the heating off, much to my wife's frustration) and also have an oil tank we've needed to top up every quarter.
Interested to see costs over the next few months!

Fackinell, £20!!
Just to soothe you, our ~145sqm half-insulated solid brick house needed 29kWh of electric to run the heat pump yesterday, average outdoor temp of 1 degC, entire house at 21 degC 24 hours a day (heating is always on). Cost for this, including full 250L tank of hot water, was £4.60 on Tomato Lifestyle.
Who's installing your ASHP, and which one are you getting?

Tomato Energy update: just got our first bill for December, came to an average of 16p/kWh for all electricity used (all electric house, no gas). This is with no real attempt at load shifting, no battery or solar.
So around a third cheaper than a standard tariff, with zero effort required. No evening peak, no mad expensive days when the wind doesn't blow.
