Default Electric Bill - Is this Eccessive?

Too many variables to know really, but some things to consider.

Lights have a negligible impact on your bill, as do most electronics.
Things which affect your bill are devices that generate a lot of heat.
For example:

Tumble drier on for 1 hour: 3kW hours, 24p
18W CF bulb on for 1 week: 3kW hours, 24p

Look at your cooker, washing machine, dish washer and tumble drier usage
- that will make up 75% of your consumption.


Totally agree with Grunff's analysis. One other thing that can gradually become
inefficient are fridges.
