How much energy are you using in ££ per day?

[TokyoSushi]

Now that we're (mostly) all on the new tariff, how much in ££ are you using per day?

We seem to be using between £9 & £10 😳 4 bed detached newish build, really conscious of energy use, I WFH and DS has his Xbox on quite a lot of the evening, but my goodness it's a lot...

I'm feeling slightly better about ours now. We are using £7-8 a day in 4 bed house and two of us are WFH. So we appear to be in line with others

If we have the heating on for a couple of hours- one morning and one evening- it's £10-12. If not it's £9-£10. One washing load a day, not using tumble drier, no especially excessive habits energy-wise otherwise. DH out all day in the week, I'm WFH most of the week (maybe out all day one full day). Two adults, two kids, three bed end of terrace that's less than five years old.

For comparison an expensive day last winter with the heating on was more like £5-6. It's mad.

6 of us in 60s 3 bed semi. Varies between £5-9 a day and that's with me trying to be as careful as I can.

I'm well in credit with my supplier, so I too am starting to feel a bit better about what we're spending. I wonder how much heating I can have for £10 a day total energy spend.

Last few weeks between about £3.50 to £6 daily, this week its around £8/9 a day as MIL lives with us and was away for a few weeks but she's been back a few days and hates feeling cold. (She also like leaving lights on in rooms that she isn't using!!)
We have solar panels but they produce next to nothing in winter so we are reliant on the grid.

I think we are about £8 a day now. Once it gets properly cold though it will go up to £20 ish a day.

For electricity only it's crept up to £11 a day. Heating and hot water is oil fired and that cost £2500 to refill last month. We're putting the heat on for the odd hour here and there but for evenings we're using the log burner mostly. Definitely watching our usage, which we've never really done before.

About £8 a day. That’s without heating, just electric! Washing machine atleast once a day, dishwasher and tumble dryer probably a few times a week but whenever we need to.

Modern -ish detached four bedroom house ( built in 2000) family of four.

It’s really obvious now how much energy has gone up, we weren’t spending anything like that before, even in the cold winters with the heathing on. I used to think 5 quid a day was horrendous !

Really? £20 a day ? You can afford that ?

£3.50-£5 per day for a 20 year old 3-bed semi. £3.50 for appliances and heating, more if I do a wash and the £5 or a little over is if I put the tumble drier on. That's rare these days though.

£9 for a 2 bedroom well insulated house.

5 bed extended 1930s semi. Family of 4, 2 adults working from home and 2 teenagers at school. Currently about £5 per day, but we're in the SE where its been pretty mild so not much heating has been used so far.

I only had smart meters fitted last week, but so far it's been between £5 and £7 a day (more expensive on the days I gave in and used the tumble dryer). 3 bedroom 1950s semi-detached.

Nearly had a heart attack this morning when I glanced at the meter- it said £15!! Just for electricity!! Then I realised that was the cost so far this week.

I was able to carpet upstairs and put thick curtains up on the stair and landing windows this year which I think is helping a lot. Fortunately it's just me and two ds who run hot so we're all on board with turning the heating down low and minimising electricity use.

Our direct debit is about £250pm and we have built up a large credit over the summer as we used far less than that. Going on last year's usage at this years prices our bills for December, January and February will be about £600pm. As we have a credit of over 1k this should be OK. We live in a cold terribly insulated house. Obviously it isn't ideal and I would rather my direct debit wasn't £250 but I also don't want a mouldy house!

Around £80 a month (with the discount) 3 bed solid stone house but oil for water, heating. Dishwasher once, or one and a half average per week. Washing is one load a week and then the next week 2 loads with bedding and towels. Use the tumble if I have to or large airer with the dehumidifier which dries overnight in a cold store room. Just me. Rangemaster oven rarely on, (hob part is bottled gas which lasts me a year) as use the airfryer mainly otherwise.
Oil is expensive but being careful plus have a multi fuel in the living room.
My mums generation swear by using a top sheet under the duvet cover as saves having to wash the duvet cover so often.

@Roomba

have a look at your washing machine usage (if you want to cut costs a bit more) 'quick washes' mostly use MORE electricity than longer washes.

(quick = more agitation, high electric use
long = more soaking , less electric)

Between £10 and £15 a day. 5 bed detached new build with the best insulation we could get. That's with just the aga on which does cooking and heat, and various bits of TV, laptop charging etc in the day

I'm managing to keep it under £2.50 most days gas and electricity. Highest we've had is £4. For gas I only have gas heating and most days the boiler is off. I'm in a small 2 bed end of terrace just me and dd.

I'm being ultra careful for electricity and have economy 7 between 12;30am and 7:30am. I've been getting up at 6:30am to put on the dryer and washing machine and using the timer on the dishwasher to run it at night. Also using the electric shower before 7:30am. This is saving loads. I did all those yesterday (dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, shower) and did have the heat on for an hour and it was only £2.89 for the day. Using any of those appliances in the day costs well over a £1 each (except the washing machine which is more like 50p) so economy 7 is saving my bacon at the mo.

My electricity is not too bad - only about £2 per day so far. But I don’t have a tumble dryer and other appliances are quite modern and energy efficient. Avoiding using the dishwasher. But I think my gas is going to be a lot from now on. Have been pretty frugal with the heating but it’s been mild - but getting cold now. My bedroom has been 15/16 when I go to bed and that’s just too cold for me.

New build 2 bed
tv on most of the day I only do 2 weekly washes. Vac every other day.
curently 2.50 with standing charge -3.50 if I use washer and vac.
not used heating yet.
I return to work next week wfh so I expect it will rise when computer on all day.
my monthly bill went from £65 combined to £122 combined

About 7 per day. Gas and electricity. 3 in household. 1 at home all day. Oven seems to be killing it!!

£10/day here too. 3 bed large(ish) detached, newish build. Both DH and I WFH so that probably doesn’t help.

£7/£8 per day.

1930’s semi which has been extended, into a four bed. Young DH, me and DH work from home. Heating most definitely on.

We also have wooden fires which help with the heating cost.

Ive noticed for the first time we’ve got some speckles of mould around our window area. Along the window sealant and the walls near the windows.
Never had this before in the five years we’ve been here.
We haven’t had our heating on yet. I wonder if that’s the reason? Quite annoying and something I want to stop asap.

If you usually have the heating on that will be why, the air will be a bit damp.
