what do you pay for you Kw/h electric

freekin too much. my house bill was 600 last quarter plus coal and logs.
my work bill was 300. in the summer work drops down to 150

 

I use only 11 units per day; which according to the supplier is low usage; but I still end up seeing bills close to £200 a quarter and I'm f*****g p****d off about it.

 

My son who lives with me in the same house used 7644.00KW for a bill of £948.54!!! Couldn't believe it when I say the bill today. We have split meters because of this, mine was £118.

 

Try turning a few things off....I'm constantly amazed at how people have the TV playing to its self and lights on and on and on....Then moan about their bills.

 

I agree, I saw him the other day, TV on full surround sound on, washing machine going, electric underfloor heating going full blast, etc. I am glad I am not covering this bill.

 

My Doris is the same....Comes down the stairs, turns the telly on, then wanders into the kitchen leaving said telly chatting to its self...unch::Blackeye:

 

Electricity is an expensive commodity and it's only going to increase in price, so it makes sense to put into place energy saving methods as soon as you can.
I'm an electrician so am fully conversant with how much electricity each device I have switched on is using and make an effort to switch things off when I'm not using them, such as the T.V, lights,e.t.c.

I'm surprised how many people have no idea what the energy consumption of their appliances is, and do things like drying their washing in a power hungry machine, where putting it out on a washing line could save them loads over the year.

Modern L.E.D lighting has improved hugely in the last few years, and although initially a relatively expensive investment it doesn't take that long to pay for itself. Why have an old fashioned 100w tungsten filament lamp burning away when a 6w L.E.D will provide as much light.

For those thinking longer term strategies for saving money on power costs how about considering a ground source heat pump. One of my friends has had one installed for about 8 years now and he's really saving a fortune on his heating costs.

Price comparison websites can help you choose the best deal for buying energy, and they are easy to use.

 

we are on the cheapest tariff and i is a Scotsman no lecky wasted in my house.

 

Ah..........no point in asking you for a pint, then............

 

pint o piss maybe.

 

and that will be cold.

 

The energy companies do make it as complicated as possible, imo in an effort to confuse the customer.
For example: I pay 24.165p/KWh for the first 900KWh's and then the price drops to 9.215p/KWh.

I found that knowing your annual usage gives you the knowledge to find the best deal using an energy price comparison site.

 

Edit: that was wrong current info'

I'm now paying 13.167p/KWh+ 18.9p/day

Lucky for me I'm easily able to do the calculations, but I should imagine for lots of people these kind of tariffs are confusing

 

I agree.

Who do you now get your electric from now, and are you sure that is the only cost?

 

I think I pay 18p per kw daytime and 8p during the night.

 

You have leccy?
