For us, the house move has come at just the right time.
Our monthly electricity bill, based on my estimate using your tariff, is about the same as this time last year, because we no longer have electric showers or an electric hob. We’re using a lot less of a resource that costs a lot more and more or less breaking even.
Our monthly gas bill replaces a per-tonne cost for biomass which is significantly more expensive than gas (though significantly cheaper than bottled gas or heating oil). So although we have added cooking and cleaning to that half of our energy bill, I think at the moment we have spent only about two-thirds of what we would have spent this time last year.
