Energy costs (again)

[Pondy]

2 nd holiday homes. I am the only one that lives here

So a 'caretaker' then?
Do you park in a different space each day? I would.

 

[N4LLY]

Caretaker

No an International Freight Forwarder and have been for 45 years

Enough space to let mates in to visit in to park for free where it cost £10 a day :wink:

I quite fancy a weekend by the sea. Fancy a pint?

Wow! Porn available in triplicate and somewhere to throw the tissues! Scuby will be jealous. :lol:

You don't recycle?

That's my work from home work station, dual screen and the big Telly for the Football :wink:

Oh! I thought it was a high end gaming station

I’ve got a deal until September’23 then the reality will bite!

 

[Pondy]

Anyone else being sharfted ?

Yes, everyone! :x

My gas and leccy bills from 1st December to 1st Jan were £562.89 (actual usage) less £67.

I've seen others on another forum paying over £1,000 for December!

A stick?

Bit like that yes - there is a transmitter on the tank that sends the level to a receiver in the house which shows how many litres you have left.

That's a level indicator, though, not a meter!
You oil-burning boys are laughing anyway. First time in history that heating oil is cheaper than mains gas by around 20% (and you don't pay a standing charge).

I bought one of them once (a watchman). Then it broke, so I went back to a stick! :lol:

What was your usage? In December we used 340KWH electric and 1,400 KWH Gas. 4 bed detached , 3 adults, gas central heating and hob, cavity wall insulation. On a fixed deal until August so cost was £129 before the government hand out.

January looks like being below £90 as its been much milder. On a typical day we seem to be using 9-10KWH electric and 25-30KWH Gas

 

[Pondy]

What was your usage?

349kW leccy.
4,158kW gas.
5 bed detached (2600sq ft). 3 Adults, me at home all day. Gas hob, heating, water heating, fairly modern house (20 years), fairly modern system boiler (mains pressure). Gas fired stove in main living room (which has been needed recently).

28 old u-pvc windows (yes I know 28!) which are the problem with gas usage, as some leak like a sieve.

33.02p kW leccy. 45.76p per day charge
10.237p kW gas. 28.48p per day charge.
Variable tariff as fixed price finished back in the Summer.

 

[N4LLY]

33.02p kW leccy.

Think my Economy 7 tariff is not "Economy"

First time i've felt the need to research :?
