To be honest, I just want to move to a house!
2 bed flat (new build 'apartment') - 2 adults, one baby. Storage heaters. Only use one of them though, as aware they're expensive. Other than that, water is on for 2 hrs in the morning, and 2 hrs in the evening.
Microwave, washing machine (goes on overnight on economy 7, cheaper rate), tumble drier (used occasionally, again on economy 7) oven, fridge, tv, phone/laptop chargers, hairdryers, lights. That's all I can think of that uses electricity.
We are currently paying £170 a month and according to my last bill (which I couldn't make head nor tail of, I'd inputted actual readings online, but when the bill came, it split it into 3 different lots of day rate, and 3 different lots of night rate!!) we only used £30 a month BUT for the same period (30 days) and same daily consumption (44units) the month before, they'd charged us £160.
Seriously. WTF is going on!
It's Scottish Power. Anyone else find their billing system ridiculous to understand?! And their bills high?
I also think it's madness that we use 44 units daily - HOW?! How does the TV being on and laptop use that much? (with the odd cup of coffee being boiled!) What do other people use daily?
Any help?! Suggestions?!
