How much is your smart meeter showing today

[Carfeulyay]

£15 at 19.30 so likely to hit a few more pounds by midnight. we had the hearing on 16deg for a few hours this morning & an hour this afternoon, hot water enough for 1 small child bath & cooked pasta on the hob & two working people on screens and one load of laundry.

I have had a fire on all day (thanks to logs we had in garden) and dried my washing in front of it.

I dread to think the cost when it gets any colder!

what’s your smart reading? Hubby thinks im
getting obsessed and should unplug it!

On the current standard variable rate. Was working in the office got home at 7pm and it was only £1.85 both gas and elec.

Since I've been home heating for one hour, air fryer use and watching TV and its now £3.50

Heating for an hour is about £1.20 ish.

I'm back in the office full time now saves me heating during the day so I cna spend the money in the evening instead

£3 electricity
£11 gas. Heating set 18.5 for 2 hours in the morning and 19 from 3.30 till 10

Haven't got one. Wouldn't have one if you paid me. Worst invention ever, and the more my energy provider tries to BULLY me into having one, the more I am determined not to have one.

I agree with your hubby, I've refused to have one installed, my hubby started getting manic and obsessed about switches and usage but not in a normal way. Like confiscating phone chargers left plugged in but not in use. I just send in regular readings or calculate my own usage week by week, I adjust DD accordingly and put the rebate straight back onto my account.

5:30 gas 3:50 electric, heating on 1hr morning and 4hrs evening ( via thermostat so on and off based on temp, just dropped temp to 15 for overnight) out of the house from 7.30 till 3:30. But on second washer load, having building work done and using a dry buddy to dry laundry. Not sat in the dark,messing around on my phone.

I like my smart metre. I have set myself to not go over £5 a day as that’s what I can afford. So I can keep an eye on where I am money wise each day and if I can have the heating on or not. I wouldn’t be without one.

Whacked the heating up to a super toasty 21 last night.
Overall use was £5.72 for gas (heating on 23 h) and £1.91 electric with the dehumidifier (everything went off for an hour at 5pm for a saving session with my supplier).

As my radiators are playing up, it's a toasty 9 degrees! Heating went on at 11am so hopefully it will warm up by the time it gets dark.

I don't know who but 9 degrees in the daytime is bearable. But after dark it's hideous. Maybe because I'm moving less after cooking dinner?

Time to find a heating engineer. But it's been eye opening to see how it can really get. Colder than I had imagined. I just hope it's fixable. And the smart metre doesn't go over £10 🥴

Yikes @IncessantNameChanger
I did a winter with no central heating and two little fan heaters once and it was not fun.
Fingers crossed it's sorted quickly and cheaply!

Thanks, it so annoying as it was fine a few weeks back. It costs a fortune to seemingly do nothing, but I finally realised last weekend it is capable of still raising the temp a few degrees. I'm praying it will creep up slowly.
