    Oh wow, that seems quite high! How many people to your house and how many bedrooms if you don’t mind my asking?

    I’ve got gas heating, oven/stove, and hot water, so the biggest power draw I have is the portable air con. My energy usage varies a bit, but is generally between 4-6kWh, occasionally dipping down to 3, or poking up to 8. Any more than that is abnormal for me, even if I use the dryer and aren’t proactive about keeping lights off

      Just me and the pets. Two bedroom. It’s open plan with poor insulation and a wall full of windows in the lounge - south facing so I don’t get the sun at least, but very bad insulation wise.

      I have electric everything except hot water, and do a lot of food prep so I have three freezers and two fridges running which adds a bit in too. If I’m out of the house the baseline usage is around 4-5kWh.

      Before I had the new split systems installed the heating and air con used a lot more power, so this is pretty good for me.
