Both me and my wife working from home. Scotland being sub zero for most of this week. Wife feels the cold alot. Kids room is cold (working on that right now!). Just means we have the heating on for easily 8-10 hours of the day plus usual electric usage which isn't loads, but adds up. The crazy thing is the gas only heats half the house as the other half runs of oil!!! So its, more than £20 in reality right now.
I realise its a slightly unique moment due to how cold things are here, but still.

@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/day
With 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!
