Hi
we have always had a high electric bill and I am puzzled as to why. Our most recent bill, for two months mid-May to mid-July, shows consumption of 1,112 units. Our house is a 1999 build, about 2,500 sq.ft. Our principal electric appliances and usage as follows:
Electric showers - 2 - approx. 3 showers per day
Electric kettle - boiled approx 3/4 times a day
Washing machine - used av. once per day
Dryer - everyday in winter/spring, not so much in summer
Dishwasher - used mostly at weekend, 3 times
Electric oven - used about 3 times per week x 90 mins max each time
TVs - 2 on mostly evenings
Lights - we have a few multi bulb light fittings and some wall sconces
Outside lights - we have the outside lights on a sensor so they are on from dusk til dawn, I use mostly low energy bulbs in these
Central heating - Rayburn oil range on about 2 hours a day
Immersion - rarely on
Fridge freezer not very big and on all the time of course
Chest freezer - decent size and on all the time of course
Any ideas on where to start trying to find what is causing the high usage?
