I guess I'm in for a shock on the 21st when my bill comes in. They did announce what their new prices will be but I chose to not do any calculations 
How big is your new place Gary? Mine is a 60s built, semi, dormer bungalow 3 bed + dining room or 4 bed depending on viewpoint.
I usually sleep upstairs which is always cold in the Winter but I think I'll switch to downstairs this year, I installed a sliding door at the top of the stairs so I can now isolate the upper rooms. I've added a lot of extra insulation to the easily accessible areas but it needs more on the dormer partition walls (which are in the roof - hence the chill).
I normally run a garage dehumidifier for the bikes starting about now - I've noticed the garage humidity has already crept into the low 70s rH. I'll maybe run it for a month to see what the damage is... |
I've yet to see how accurate the estimate of what I will use is going to be. I did notice on the confirmation stuff I had from British Gas that they reckon by the end of the first year I'll be £900 in credit for my electricity and £300 in debit for the gas.
Bungalow is one of the late 50s/early 60s builds so pretty solidly made, with a well insulated roof space. Living room, front bedroom, back bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Proper garden front and back too.
Going to take some adjustment for me, living on a small estate. Thankfully it's on the edge of the estate, itself on the edge of a small market town (most folks in England would probably think of it as a large village).
