Hi all,
I've noticed my bills are getting a bit crazy, very near £400/mo to Octopus. We are a family of 5, with one working from home in the day. We don't have electric heating and get gas from Octopus aswell.
My highest usage in the last 6 months was last month, at 1195kWH. I type in the numbers myself so they aren't estimated. We don't have a smart meter, should I get one?
We use an electric powered pump nearly daily for a few hours because we bought a house where the previous sellers told us it "flooded once 10 years ago", and now the basement floods upto the first step every time it rains (and just some other random times too). This is the only thing that I think makes us majorly different from the average family of fives usage.
My friends told me that my usage is insane, and looking online I saw similar, but I still don't really know what to make of it
