pvr Dutch Ruler of the South East UK Oct 12, 2012 #1 Just curious as I just renewed my contract. I was told I was a "loyal customer and heavy user" which made me think. How much is "heavy"? My annual consumption is 13000 Kwh. Just renewed for two years for 9.5 p day and 6.5p night, which seemed ok.

A Adamski Lifer Edinburgh Oct 12, 2012 #7 I have some energy saving bulbs, but can't get energy savers for the spot lights in the kitchen or hall.... Don't think I have energy friendly appliances either

pvr Dutch Ruler of the South East UK Oct 12, 2012 #20 How would I know - we have overhead cables here. Probably does not help that I run a number of servers here permanently as well as CCTV boxes everywhere. Just thought they were supposed to be fairly "green" though.
