Gas and electric daily use

[Mo1959]

Wow Mo, that's quite a chunk! You mentioned having a smart meter fitted quite recently, are you on the " Economy 7 " tariff or equivalent? . Might be worth looking at what other tariffs are available. I know that Octopus do a " Snug " tariff for storage heating that gives 6 hours of off peak plus an extra hour in the afternoon to boost the heating up.

I plumped for Economy 10 as it spreads the times out better to keep the house warm.
At the moment it comes on 4.30am to 7.30am, 1.30pm to 4.30pm and 8.30pm to 12.30am.

That seems a useful spread, I suppose it all comes down to what the cost per kWh is.
