Hive shows my boiler runs for an average of 3 hours a day atm (for heating).
On top of that, my water runs for 30 minutes, 3 times a day.
My current gas usage (according to my bills) is about 1000 kWh per month.
My electricity use is always way higher than the so called "average".
I have no ide how anyone manages to only use 3000 kWh per year, I use at least double that.
Could I cut either down ? Probably ..
I work from home and my grandaughter lives with us.
Therefore I'm not inclined to be sitting here getting cool.

I am down to somewhere between 2500 and 2750 kwh electric. I am on my own and do not use the washing machine more than a couple of times a month as I wait till there are full loads but I do have a high powered PC and 2 screens on for 16 hours a day at least. My gas consumption should be less than 2000 kwh
Those who can afford should be comfortable in their home not matter the unit rate and fair play to those who have a nice toasty house. I could afford to have a warm house but I am choosing to spend the money on other things and wrapping up
I do expect a shortage of gas at some point over the winter and have media on my phones ready to stop me getting bored and a lamp to at least give me a little light
