We have gas central heating - no electric heaters.


Two bedroom detached house - two adults one baby.


Washing machine/dish-washer on probably an hour each five times a
week.


No other excessive high power stuff in the house....(computer 200W on
all day = 4.8 kWh day)


Dodgy meter ? Or next door are wired in...

A quick search shows average electricity usage per household in the UK
is estimated at anything from 2500 to 5500kWh per year, so range would
be 6.8kWh per day to 15kWh per day. *Seems your consumption is very
high!

Matt. Is that (6.8 to 15 per day) with 'other sources' of domestic
heating? e.g. Understand that gas heating is quite common in the UK?
And is reasonably inexpensive?
