2022 gas 364

Yikes! Brings home just how bloody cold we have let the house get due to price rises this year! Will be interesting to see what 2023 brings. I can't wait to turn the heating off ( mind you been told not to keep it off for months due to sludge build up)

Are those annual or monthly figures for each?

Ok, thanks for clarifying!

2021 electric 1230kwh
2022 electric 1089kwh

2021 gas 4000kwh
2022 gas 5300kwh

My gas for 2023 will be a bit higher again, my electric will be a heck of a lot lower.

I don't have the figures but our last bill from 2021 gives an estimated annual usage of 3635 for electricity and 12722 compared with 3375 and 10178 for 2022.

That's for an extended 2 bed semi with us not being particularly careful - we never closed any doors for example, mostly to give the cats free reign of the house.

I don't know how comparable the weather has been this winter compared with last - apart from the very cold spell before Christmas, it seems to have been quite mild.

The main change we've made is closing the living room door and putting a cat flap in it so we can heat the living room without all the heat escaping into the drafty hallway and upstairs.

Gas 8459 Electricity 1798

Jan 2022-Jan 2023
Gas 6815 Electricity 1635

Obviously we've been more careful, but part of our reduction will be the fact DH was WFH more 2021-2022 and DD was at home until Sept 2021.

Prior to that I know out annual usage was literally the same - Gas 8000 and electricity 1700 with mostly just two of us at home, so definitely down.

However is this a direct comparison - 2022 for most of the country was hotter and sunnier and for much longer.
