Family of 4, 2 adults, 2 kids. Both kids have sen and nearly always someone at home.
we had a smart meter fitted not too long ago after a long time of not really thinking about what energy we are using. We have gas boiler for central heating and water, everything else electric. We cannot get gas readings to work on smart meter so only looking at electric at the minute.
Dp worked out on average we've used 13 kWh per day over the last 6 months. Is that good or bad? Bad?!
since our smart meter we've been a bit more cautious and it's been about 10-11kwh, not a huge drop but a drop. The weathers been pretty dry so I've been drying indoors rather than dryer.
laundry is a big factor. We have a lot of laundry which is impossible to get down. Washing machine on at least once daily. Tumble dryer used when it's raining, I have an airer too for things too thick or they will shrink in the dryer. Both washer and dryer are newish models that should be more energy efficient.
big factor is also electronics. Nearly always a tv on or a device being charged as well as an Xbox might have an hour or two use each day.
as well as things like vacuuming and my steam mop!
we turn things off when not in used.
Dp boils the kettle a lot as he is a tea addict but he's been only boiling what he needs rather than overfilling.
we've just got a new oven (built in) which I hope will hope. Our old one took forever to heat up, needed to be cranked up high too cook and was not a fan oven. Hoping our new one is more energy efficient. We also have an air fryer but aren't noticing a big difference between that and oven so far.
our hob uses a lot of energy when used, that too takes ages to heat up too! I'm not sure if the cost of a new one will be worth it, will a newer one be more energy efficient??
