Afternoon all,
I have been privately renting a 2 bed maisonette now since last October.
Me & flat mate have crappy storage heaters that we kept on during winter. The heat generated from them was minimal and after a couple of months when the cold kicked in got an oil filled radiator for the living room only. Storage heaters have been turned off now for at least 2 if not 3 months.
I have received 3 quartely bills since i moved in.
1: £280 (ish)
2: £340 (ish)
3: £250 (ish)
Both of us work so are out mon-fri during day time. On this basis we are going to be doing well over a grand a year on electric.
The property has no gas.
I think this is excessive, anyone else think so too?
I have tried looking at the boiler as the water that comes out of there is always scalding hot and was looking at turning the thermostat down although cannot find one. How is this regulated (the kit looks quite old and dated)?
Any advice to help me reduce this bill...
Cheers
M-O-R
(PS: I have looked at changing supplier (i am with powergen or Npower - cant remember which now - although uswitch said there isnt a cheaper supplier in my area - although im not overly convinced thats true)
