Had a similar call from British Gas earlier this year[or was it late on last year?] I wasn't particularly inclined to accept one but posed the idea on here for the collective wisdom of OOF and came up with the same conclusion so declined to have one.As others have said having one wouldn't change what I do with regard to turning stuff on/off,it's on if I need it to be and off when I don't.

£1K a quarter is ridiculous! I use £180 a month during December, January and February but only used £40 last month.

Christ, do you sit in the dark and live in a cave? I'd love it if my summer-time bills were only £40/mo - they just upped my monthly DD to £210! I think even if I didn't turn anything on I'd use more than £40s worth of leccy & gas..

shame they don't keep the roads so pristine and pot hole free nowadays 

as for smart meters , i have an electricity energy monitor that displays how much electric we use
I will wait till they sort out standard smart meters ,so i can switch tariffs every year
gas wise , I'm not even bothering to monitor ,because I insulated the house so well ,the heating going on is a very rare occasion .

Boiler is, more or less, off excepting dish washing, hand washing, etc. so nothing there. Leccy is for cooking, lights, tellies, etc and £40 sounds about right.

How do showers affect the boiler?

Hot water. Unless it's an electric shower. Or, unless you like cold showers after a suana and being lashed with birch twigs by a blonde Finnish lady.

It's £40 for two weeks  Changed my plan last month.

[aaronjb]

Phew, that's more like it!

Our gas and electric is £300 pq...

Typically 12kwh of gas and 3kwh electrickery.

Then you must be on a really good deal!? I just checked, in winter we're using about 10kwh of gas and 2kwh of electric, and in summer that drops to about 2kwh of each, yet my bill is more like £650 per quarter.. (About 3p/kwh for gas and 13p/kwh electric)

[STEMO]

Those figures don't make sense, Aaron

As you can see, I use over 5000 KW of gas and over 300KW of electric.
