We have a smart meter for the electric and a normal gas meter, tbh I quite like having a smart meter

[bots]

i don't do anything with the gas smart meter. It needs to be on when its on. It uses more in winter than summer. That's basically it.

Electricity usage can be managed because of the sheer number of devices plugged in

I see that Einstein smart meter advert on YouTube all the time.

I said NO
100% NO.

As I am using very little gas


I use Electric Plug In Radiators
in any zone, we need to keep warm.(Not with British Gas)


It has saved us Thousands of Pounds.

Electric Shower
no Poxy Gas needed

What electric heaters do you use? I keep buying quartz heaters that stop working after about a month. I don't know if they all do that, or are these really cheaply made or what?

They look like this picture.

What electric heaters do you use?

Radiators on wheels


Saves you Mega Cash and they are Safe
You get total control of the heat

I have a small electric one. I only use it when it's freezing.

You are Most Wise

That Heater
James - Costs much more than my one, in heating costs, I mean.

The Radiators are much more Safe
and last for years,

Stick them in the Cupboard
in the mid summer
they are on wheels


I have been doing this for years

I used to use them but ever since electric prices went up, it feels like burning £10 notes every hour or so.

I make do with extra clothes and hot water bottles.

I'm also using my REAL fire in the front room. I don't have it on every day - only when it gets really really cold.

And it'll be on Christmas Day all day as a Christmas treat.

Isn’t boiling kettles for hot water bottles not extremely expensive though ?

i was on a fixed term gas contract throughout the energy spike which meant i had no issues paying my gas bill and it was a steal compared to electricity costs. My new fixed contract is half what i was previously paying so there are good deals to be had out there

"I used to use them but ever since electric prices went up"


You were using them wrong then
You set a temperature for when it comes on.


They are saving me Mega Cash

British Gas can Piss Off
