Energy bill increases

[Deleted member 26715]

Not posh enough to be able to afford the electric for it

Bit like owning a Ferrari or a Porsche, many people can afford buying one, but being able to afford the fuel & maintenance costs as another matter

It was a joke. We can afford the £20-30 a month it was burning but are trying to be a little more conscious of what we use.

So was my response, but in truth some of these things are installed & the running costs are not taken into account, not sure anyone expected a 100% increase in costs

There is another one called Loop as well

I've changed my mind, it hasn't pulled any electricity data since 19th October, wonder if it's just not pulled it all in yet, although the gas is up to date, or there's an issue with the meter, why don't Octopus give you access to this information,

What information? You can get some data and graphs in the consumption screen of "My Account" on the Octopus website and a pretty full lot of data is available through their website API. It's not as good as being allowed to connect your own In-Home Display, as I understand some countries require, but it's nearly as good as can be under the customer-hostile UK system.

Just come back to say I've found where you can download your daily usage which is what I was looking for, but i have to say I don't feel the Octopus website is very user friendly, I ended up having to use Google to find the tariff's

Looks like we have stalled at 6.6kwh……..just 0.2 shy of our current best day. Which isnt bad based on the weather since we have had them fitted.

Energy bill increases?

That seems, even with the price rises, expensive, does she have a big house?

I would guess she has heating on most of the time

 

[Deleted member 26715]

Didn't seem unreasonable for all electric heating for an elderly person, they usually have the heating high as they are not very active. £200 a month is only £7 a day, 21kWh's, a few 3kW heaters will gobble that up

 

[cyberknight]

she has electric heaters that have bricks in to heat the house and yes she isn't very active
