Thats about £180 a month or £6 a day. For a mid terrace that still seems a lot - Even an insulated roof space will only slow heat escaping not cease it. One wonders what the minimum level of Kwh in to maintain say 22deg when outside is average below 6deg for a month actually is from any form of construction = stone is not inheriently that worse than 9in brickwork, but cavity /filled cavity should be slightly better. Maybe the old days of wearing the large woollen great coat knitted hat and gloves permantently indoors is the solution. Switching to candlelight brings fires risk dangers.

Yesterday I read my 'smart meters' for British Gas. Today I have my energy bill for last month, £202.

An E.on engineer came this morning and fitted a new 4G Comms hub, his checks verified that it was communicating with E.on again. Hopefully it'll last this time.

Yes Kev, I note form a message I had from EE the other day that 4G is available to me at no extra cost but evidently my phone can't use it. However it would appear that I have the possibility of a 4G connection. Should I start nagging them again? Is it worth the time and trouble?

Electric and gas reads are showing in the E.on app for yesterday, which is good. Hopefully the communication continues :good:

The only communication I can rely on is that BG will ask me to read my 'smart' meters on the 22nd.... :biggrin2:
