£37 would still be nice though.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
£36 a month for gas alone in winter, but no cavity walls and that barely makes it to 14 or 15C. I'm putting in £50 a month in DD which I'II review in Spring to be sure. The shower runs off the boiler, so I try and save there too. Five radiators. Only electric is a bit of crap 1 lumen CFL lighting, which don't work in the cold, the laptop and the DSL50 really. Big floor area though, around 900 sq. ft and all open plan plus a small bathroom, which I believe is bigger than most three bed houses I guess.
With gas and electric, the standing charge is the sting, at 30p a day + Vat.
Summer gas near zero, as I try to avoid washing. But again,even a cold house and shower will cost you a tenner a month, just for the privilege of having a meter.
Be interesting to see what people in two/three bed end terraces are paying.
dotted around the house.
It's not rocket science to calculate your bills as you go and manage your accounts.
(Cubic Metres x 1.02264 x 39.3 / 3.6) x £ per KWh + (Days x £0.30 Standing Charge) = £
£ x 1.05% Vat = Bill
The smart meter display (sat on the kitchen top) has reduced my bills just from glancing at it a couple of times a day.
2 random examples: I notice that one Laptop/Device uses hardly any electricity. So I leave that one on.
Steaming Fish and Vegetables? I can see that the Microwave steamer is the cheapest way to do that.
Many other examples....but this is Fretboard. Not Mumsnet.
I bought a new washer/dryer. And then put the dryer cycle on. On a summers day. And all the lights lit up on the Smart Meter. :-O
So guess what I did. I got a freaking Washing Line. And some freaking pegs.
