2 months ago I submitted a reading (electricity) to my supplier, at the same time I enquired as to the balance of my account, which was £43 in credit. I then received a bill last week stating that I now owe them £199. During this period I made a total of £140 in electric payments, meaning in the space of over 2 months I had used £382 worth of electricity. I obviously queried this but was given the reply to monitor my usage over a 4 day period. It appears my usage is approximately 18 units per day which is average for a household such as mine. I live with my wife and 22 month old son in a 3 bedroom semi. We use a gas hob and gas central heating from a condenser boiler therefore no immersion. Energy saving bulbs throughout, dishwasher used twice a week at the most, washing machine used no more than 3 times a week, tumble drier as little as possible (maybe 3 times a month). We've even got into the habit of turning everything off at the mains and not left on in standby mode. We don't have the lights on when the tv is on etc and the fridge and freezer are energy efficient A class. In general we're trying to use as little as possible. Therefore is my usage average?
