Coldest December for 100 years - how did it affect your energy consumption?
Apparently the 'average temperature' for last December was the coldest for a hundred years, at minus 1 deg C instead of an expected plus 4 deg C. As we are told that turning down one's central heating by 1 deg C can save 10 percent of heating costs, then December's low must have ratcheted up the energy bill by some fair amount, possibly 50 percent at a first guess. This is our first December in this house, so I have no idea what might have been a normal figure to compare to, but the gas meter readings for that month say we used 3600 kWh, for a four-bed detached house on the edge of some fields. I'd be interested in any figures people might have for their December energy consumption, compared to the previous December. TF |
