Hi all

My mrs was complaining last night about the size of the old leccy bill.
Can anyone give their experience of similar property cost and usage
please?

Last quarter cost was about 311GBP.

Detached 4 Bed house
2 Adults 2 kids
Mostly energy saver bulbs
Gas heating - no electric fans/fires
Electric Cooking
2 TVs
2 Computers
Tumble drier, washing m/c and dishwasher all in daily use

Try to keep lights to a minimum but you know what kids are!

Any thoughts?

Phil


Mine bill is similar, but in a 3 bed semi.

However, in my case, part of the reason is a server and tape autochanger on
24/7 along with a large fish tank and all it's filters/pumps/heaters etc
running.
And that's before I start looking at electric oven, and washing machine /
dishwasher usage, and the 6kw of electric heaters in the garage which get a
bit of use this time of year when I'm working down there!

I have economy 7 and have the washing machine and dishwasher on timers so
that most of their usage is in the cheap period. I just wish the wife could
make sure EVERY was was overnight!

The oven will be relaced with a gas one when it next dies, the heating
elements only seem to last for about 2 years in it.
