Trying to be Green

My latest reading is 41407. Which gives me an average daily reading of 16.9 kWH per day. A staggering 5 kWH down per day.

Now I thought at first that this was just the washing machine and I’m sure this has had some effect BUT I changed something else and I think this is far more important (sadly). I turned the electric underfloor heating in the kitchen down 3′ and I think this is what eats all our electricity. In fact I’m sure of it.

Our bills have been getting a lot higher since Christmas. And I remember having a conversation with my mother-in-law that involved her declaring our kitchen floor too cold and recommending we get carpets. And then I turned the thermostat up loads - just to show her!

So I think its our underfloor heating thats the problem. I haven’t noticed it being any colder now that I’ve turned it down but then its warmer now and I’m not sure I’d have welcomed it in the dead of winter. I have turned it back up now for the next week so that I can check its the cause.
