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...

£3.20 a day during October (after deducting the £66 discount). But it was so warm we didn't need the heating on.

November will be more !

Are you hanging damp clothes indoors as no heating is probably alright but added damp will cause mould

Just had my bill for the last 30 days and it was £161 for gas & electricity including the standing charge. Averages out at about £5.30 per day. We have been very careful, heating only on for about 1.5 hours per day max. But don't know how much longer we can carry on freezing all day (WFH)

Average currently for gas and electric £3.50 a day but we have barely had the heating on yet.
Someone is home 5/7 days a week, 3 bed semi.
Always mindful of our energy usage but not ridiculously so, I don't really know why our energy usage is less than average.

70s 3 bed semi. £4.91 average last month. I WFH. DH out at work. Heating is turned off unless really cold, although I've had it on a few times last month.

Between £5 and £6 a day. Three bed Edwardian terrace. Still haven't put the heating on. Run multiple loads through the dishwasher a day (slimline one so 5 pans and it's full!) and usually one or two wash loads. We have a heated airer that costs about 14p an hour to run (DH is obsessed with the smart meter).
Two adults, two children.
I work outside of the house and am gone M-F between 8.20 and 3.40. DH WFH. Alexa playing throughout the day, plus DH laptop. TV generally on from the moment the DC walk in (mixture of TV and xbox) and us watching it in the evening.
Because we're a terrace, the middle part of the house is dark, so the light tends to be in in the dining room at all sorts of times during in the day.

DH told me recently that we are using a fifth of the energy we used this time last year, yet it's still costing more this year. Depressing.

I've become slightly obsessed with the smart meter and you can really see when it spikes! I'm going to have a cold lunch today rather than putting the oven on and see if that helps!

We averaging £2.50 gas and £2.50 electricity.
The most it has been is is £3.25 for electricity and £3.16 for gas.

3 bed mid terrace (really old, stone built- single glazed at the front)
Ive been running the dehumidifier alot to dry the washing.
Heating has been on intermittently since October- I refuse to be cold- some days its on for hours and other days not at all.

@TokyoSushi not having the oven on will make a difference, but at this time of year a hot lunch is lovely, have you got an airfryer? Cooks so much quicker and nicer, so cheaper to run than our oven. We use ours a couple of times a day.

we have solar and battery back up, obviously not getting many units on that at this time of year, but averaging 3 a day that we are not having to draw from the grid. The advice the solar firm gave me, is not to have too many things on at once, so I put the dishwasher on, then put the washing machine on once it’s finished.

£5-£6 a day so far in total for both. We did have one day the other week where the smart meter showed £7 something.

Gas is still fairly low use as we're only using the heating sparingly. It's over £1 now when we first wake up in the morning, from standing chages alone mainly.

I think we might be getting an air fryer for Christmas. I should caveat my moaning by saying we're in the very fortunate position of being able to afford the energy bill, I just begrudge paying out quite so much money!

£2 on a good day, £5 on a bad day (when I need to tumble dry and use the oven.)

Gas is around £2.50 on a good day, £4-5 on a bad day.

Basically if I do anything or want to stay warm I'm paying a fortune.

£2 last month without heating. November should be higher of course.

7.50 a day just for electricity. Oil for the heating and water is on top of that. It’s mainly the cooker plus we have three freezers but even so.

About £4 a day.
just me in a 3 bed semi

We average £17 a day on electric alone at the moment. 4 of us in a 5 bed detached. But we have 2 EVs and we do a lot of miles. So I am charging c 70kwh every other day. Plus in winter the car battery drains so much faster.
My mum also charges her car here every week (a she lives in a flat and has no charge point).
Had smart meters installed yesterday. So far I am freaked out mainly by the kettle!!! No tumble dryer and just put on my dehumidifier and pleasantly surprised how little the meter jumped. I'll get 3 hours worth of drying for less than 30p.
Heating set at 18 deg and decreased no of hours water on for.
We buy no petrol tho.
Solar panels coming Jan and will move to a cheaper overnight charging package for cars once smart meter properly connects to provider.

Approx £3.25 a day (inc. S/C). Electric only so far.

This is 2 adults in a 3 bedroom semi-detached.

We both wfh but I've made cut backs on the computer equipment used. I now use a laptop, not fun, rather than our alien spacecraft-level PC. It's wattage difference is immense.

I am holding firm on the central heating until it becomes truly unbearable. To the mob that keep 💩posting in peoples' threads about putting more layers on. All good advice. But...

...that doesn't decrease damp which goes right to the throat and chest when breathed in.

Dehumidifiers cost a bit to run and are far more effective in warmer temperatures so I feel that would be a waste unless I significantly heat up some of the worst rooms.

We don't have a smart meter but dividing our usage over the month (£200 all in including standing charge etc) by 30 days approx in a month works out £6 ish a day. We pay £300 though to build credit for winter. That's usual electric nothing particularly power hungry I don't think. Including a dehumidifier running about 12-18 hours a day to dry washing plus probably half an hour tumble dryer each day. Weekend tumble dryer use is up to 6 hours a day though to get school uniform dry.

Gas is hob but we don't use the oven anymore as have an air fryer. Plus one hour hot water in the morning and we've recently started doing one hour heating of an evening . We are on a fix at the moment

Me too! I only got my smart meter a few weeks ago but the damn thing has become an obsession. Every time I see the orange light go on I rush round switching off whatever triggered it. It's definitely reducing my consumption but life is a bit grim now!

I'm averaging £3.50-4/day on electric and that's without using the heating. 1 bed flat (25 years old). Everything is electric including the hot water heating and the 25 year old electric storage heaters (and a fan heater in the bathroom!). Ancient fridge freezer that probably guzzles electric. Desperately trying to avoid using the heating but it's getting harder to do as it gets colder. I might finally crack this weekend.

I don't have a dishwasher and I've cut right down on how often I use the washing machine and TV. I also try not to put the lights on (use candles at night but I used to do this before as it looked nice - now I do it to save electric!) No space for an airfryer - and no windows in the kitchen so need to use the light in there - and just realised the next 2 days of food requires the oven (curried chicken & thai basil pie today, lasagne tomorrow) duh!

Last night I was watching Gangs of London on the iPad (by candlelight) to save using electric for the TV.

I hate to imagine what will happen to my costs when I finally have to put the heating on. I'm usually one of these people that really feel the cold and I HATE being cold. Very relieved to be peri-menopausal as hot flashes are a great cost-saver!!😂

Around £3 a day on electricity. I'm at home most days (wfh) so laptop etc is on, but trying to be very frugal otherwise. Everything is switched off at the plugs, no lights on unless absolutely necessary, using the oven only when we can't cook in the airfryer / microwave. Washing machine on as little as possible, not showering every day (expensive electric shower). Dishwasher goes on late at night. Tumble dryer use is forbidden

Gas use is currently very low as it only does HW/heating. Barely use the HW and have only had the heating on once, for an hour, the other day as I was worried the house was starting to feel damp (we have water damage from a flat roof leak in one room). It cost £1.50 for that one hour! Horrifying.

I am mostly in several jumpers, scarf, three pairs of socks and fluffy slipper boots, fingerless gloves and wristwarmers. Under a blanket whenever possible. Tbh, it really sucks and I'm bored of this shit already.

Currently have gas CH on for 1 hour a day which costs £1.30. I may double that soon to 2 hours per day as temperature looks to be dropping to 10 degrees max here until the end of November.

About £2 worth of electric.

We're also about £9 a day on average. Wfh two days. DH wfh a bit more.

Forgot to say, we're detached, high up and on the coast, quite exposed. 30s house. Just me and DH at the moment as dcs are at uni.
