Electricity bills
I just got my electricity bill. It's a lot less than the comparable bill for the same quarter last year. £30 less.
There's inevitably going to be some random variation depending on when they actually read the meter and when they've estimated and got it wrong, but I'm still pretty confident that the saving is real.
The usage was 686 kWh as opposed to 1201 kWh
That's a reduction of over 40%!
I'll wait and see what the bill is next quarter before I cheer too loudly, but it looks as though the measures I've taken to cut the electricity usage (without reducing our standard of living) may be having a real effect. That's a lot of carbon dioxide saved, as well as hard cash.
The gas bill is also well down, but the weather has been very mild, so I don't yet know how much of that saving is due to the double glazing and other insulation work.
