A bit OT, but our electricity usage has always seemed incredibly high to
me. Not how much we pay, but the actual units used. Looking back, the
last time I read the meter was 26.09.13, which is almost exactly a year
ago. Reading it today, I find we have used 9128 units over a year.

No electric heating. No tumble dryer. Just the usual washing machine,
dishwasher, two fridges/freezers, two desktops, two laptops, kettle,
lighting etc. An I naive, or is that a lot of units?

I use about 3500/yr plus about1500 from PV panels.
Two of us in medium bungalow, no gas and electric car.
No tumble dryer but three small freezers.
Immersion heater but also solar thermal panels.
My main culprit is TV (380w).

That is a lot you use. You can't afford to leave stuff on 24/7 these days.
Do the arithmetic, it adds up to a fantastic sum.

Dogs don't need lights at night.
Stuff left on unattended is also an additional fire risk.
