Smart meter- how much is everyone spending per day?

[Jaaxe]

Just that really, wondering how much everyone is spending on their gas and electricity per day. Obviously knew come October things would increase, ours has pretty much doubled and we haven’t even put our heating on yet. Not sure how we can decrease it any further either.

We’re averaging about £7 a day, but there’s 5 of us in an elderly 4 bed detached house in the North East, so I’m happy with that, and it’s within budget.

£3 for gas and electric if I use the washing machine. No heating yet, it’s 21 degrees in our flat!

A good £4 owing to ps4 and 2 of us in the home using electric showers.

Ah, thanks for that! I had literally put it on for an hour ish each time, the first to check it worked, and the 2nd evening as i was chilly....

I'm averaging about a fiver a day, £2 gas and about £3 in electric and that includes keeping my ev running but I have the solar and battery working to keep that cost a lot lower than it would be otherwise.

Im on the government cap.
1.5 of us here, as DD spends half the week with her dad.
I was dreading it, but it's not been bad.
approx £2 per day on average, with a shower every day, normal stuff running.
£3-£4 when I had the washer on three times and tumble dryer twice. Heating has been on for a couple of hours.

I will use my log burner in winter too so that should keep it down.

if I stay under £5 a day I'm really happy and to be honest, I'm hitting a lot more days at £2 than £4.
Spoke to Eon yesterday for something else and reviewed my DD and we've reduced it to £80 a month for now (obviously the government help takes it to £146).

meant to say. 2 bed 1930s ex council house.

£6-8 depending. That’s for 5 in a six bedroom house. No heating yet.

About £3 a day for both. With a couple of small changes I’ve got my electric down from a historic average of 8.75 kWh per day to 5.15 kWh.

Gas is a big unknown moving forward due to having wood burner fitted this year, shall know by the spring. GCH still essential for overnight and in the morning but hoping burner will do much of the heavy lifting.

Based on recent figures I’m now on par with when the February 2021 price cap came in, well £400 under including the energy rebate!

Is there a specific reason you have your heating on at night? Obviously it's your house & you can do as you please, but...

personally I'd hate it (too hot & stuffy) & I sleep with the windows open.

the only thing I'd like is a heated toilet seat! 😂🤣

We are in the variable tariff and haven’t turned the heating on yet. We average £2/£3 a day in a four bed semi with two adults and a toddler. Our combined bill for the last month was £22 after the energy payment was detracted. I did pop the heating on for an hour the other day and it seemed to be about £1 for an hour so expecting to have quite the increase from £22 once we actually turn the heating on!

@FistFullOfRegrets

I’ve never been keen on a cold house and have always kept heating on 24/7, set at 21 degrees at certain key times and 19 degrees the rest of the time.

Not as wasteful as it might first seem, for gas over the years I’ve only been slightly over the figure for what is considered “average” and I live in a Victorian semi!

Oh, and heated toilet seat? Never knew such things existed! Off to Google now, quite like the sound of such a thing!

It is what it is.

£3 on each, if the heating goes on and I use the tumble dryer.

Reading this is painful.

We used £13 one day this week. I was home all day, did a few loads of washing, plus had the dishwasher on, and heating on briefly.

Today we're at £4.

We've not had the heating, dishwasher, or washing machine on. I've cooked dinner, had a couple of cups of tea, and the tv's been on a few hours. Not sure I could ever get it lower than that.

£13 in one day?! Jesus Christ that's insane!

About £4 on a low use day, going up to £8/9 if we use oven, tumblr dryer or have a bath. Heating not on yet.

£2.50-£4 per day but also expecting a baby soon so that'll go up with the heating!

@TescoCustomerService

I know. My DH pointed it out at the end of the day. We're usually around the £5-6 mark so £13 was a real shock.

But sick child. So multiple loads of washing and drying, plus heating and humidifier on most the day.

£3.50 for both, 2 up 2 down, we use washing machine daily and only have a shower, dishwasher gets used a few times a week and we have an electric oven and hob, use a clothes horse to dry clothes, 1 child

This is a ‘how long is a piece of string?’ question. It’s going to vary so much depending on how old and well insulated your house is, what appliances you use, whether you’re warm people or feel the cold, how big of a house you have to heat, how long you spend at home etc.

Between £1.60 and £2 a day on gas and electric combined, but put the heating on yesterday for two hours and spent £3.80 in total, it worked out at a £1 a hour for gas, but will be less if I keep it on longer as the boiler will go off once the thermostat hits 18.

£4 electricity approx. That’s 4 showers, working from home x2, kettles, washing machine, electric throw & blanket, microwave used 3 times and the oven once for about 30 mins, vacuum cleaner, radio, record player, 2 tv’s on for hours.

We put the heating on today as I stupidly went out for coffee and didn’t take a jacket, sat outside and got proper cold! Heating was £1.73 an hour. Our gas fire is 65p an hour.

Doesn’t seem too bad.. electricity /gas fire.

Heating is going to be mega bucks if it’s on 5/6 hours a day. We host over Christmas, the heating is on from 11am-11pm (elderly, circulatory issues, we have no choice) so kerching! Might have to charge them! - JOKE!

Oh my!!! That is scary to read!!! Think this was a glitch?
