I rent a 1-bed all electric flat (UK) and am with Octopus. I have always felt my electricity bill was a little high - £70/month, considering the size of the property, but they have just written to me and following the price hike. Their new recommended monthly direct debit is £121!
I thought this was perhaps normal given the situation but having spoken to my friend in a 2-bed on a £40/month DD I am really worried.
I know all-electric is more expensive and unfortunately there is only an old convector heater (think hot air blowing) in the living room, where I work from home in the day and relax in the evenings.
There is a 'hot tank' for hot water which is very large and old and I am going to investigate turning the temperature down but otherwise I really don't know what to do.
Apparently in January I used 826.0KwH in January - no idea if that is normal.
Please help!
