Or put this another way My ashp at a cop of 3 is using 12000kw say at 29p that's still £3480. So say gas is 3 times less efficient and I use 36000kw at 6p that's still £2160. And we all know electric won't say at 29p I know from a good souce cap in October will be around 40p that's around £5000.

They say you get a cop of 3! In October 42p kW x 12000kw witch will be my annual used from my air source £5200 Lpg gas 42p liter. 7 kW to a liter 42÷7=6p a kW. 6 × 12000= £720. Say gas uses 4 x as much only £2880. I would say a massive saving!

I'm looking to spend around 5k on saving or cutting energy costs. One option is put gas in!!! Unless electric can get under 20p again. I really cannot see a future for ashp.

My old supplier went bust so had no option but a variable. They want 60p to fix. I'm with octopus. My house is better insulated than my mum and dad's. Yet there not gonna have the bills I have. Looking at the year so far I would put my electric usage down to 12000. It's got better since last year after a service. There were a few issues. But what ever you say about a ashp it's still at the MOMENT 29pkw. I'm really not against them. I do like it. Justs seems its pricing its self out of the market

I have a smart meter. I reads every half hour. I know how much I'm using every day. Yesterday was 5.8 kW. Day before that 8.4. 56.4 for the week not including day. The app is always a day behind. If that helps

Do you know your EPC rating? How old is your ashp and make. To be fair my wife will use alot from baking. And when it was 15000kw she was home all day with young kids.

I really don't think the ashp in the real world are as efficient as they say. When building the house one my biggest bills was insulation!!. I don't think it should use this much. But when joules serviced it last year. They did all calculations and said 15000kw is around where they expected the annual house usage. The trouble is electric so dam expensive, personal I think other heating like lpg us far far cheaper

Are the new generation ashp more efficient and less expensive to run. Mines 8 years old now. Would a newer or different brand save me money

My wife does the baking for a local outside catera. So to be fair some times 2 electric ovens can be on 2 to 3 hours in a day. But not everyday. Looking at your electric a month I would say mines in line. Have you air source.

Is a EPC score of c bad. When they did it they said it was very nearly a B. What's other people with or without air source using a month through summer? It never gets below 14 in summer even if I leave all doors open?

For July I've used 301kw. But exported 452kw. My heating is on holiday mode through summer. I.e only comes on when below 14 degrees. But still on for hot water. In June I used 268kw. Is this high for summer

Sorry yes 200m2

My Dhw is at 46. Once a week it takes it upto 50. Through winter I try to keep everything at a constant temp. Usually 19 degrees. I let it drop to 17 18 through night.

My house is 200sq feet. I think the electricity is high. I have fitted a 6kw solar. This summer. But cannot see it doing much on a cold misty wet day in January. Lpg gas is a by product of petrol. Mum says its at 42p. From 35 in November. Even if it got to a £1 a liter. Still cheaper. My bills last year was 200 a month in winter at 15p. Now my electric is 29p for now. So you can see how expensive it's gonna be. At these prices gas will pay for its self quickly. Can anyone see electric coming down anytime soon.

I've had a talk with my local plumber who also fits renewable. He said he would never put one in. I do live on a very rural area of North Yorkshire. So mybe one reason why my usage is high. But my mum and dad live a litte further up in a covered barn with same epc. There house is alittle smaller. She last filled her lpg gas tank up in November for 495. Even if I used double this . It would still be far cheaper than air source

I'm on octopus standard tariff. They say the air source has a cop of 3. But I understand only at certain temperatures. My house has a epc c. All cavity wall insulation and roof of course. As with gas. I can get a bulk tank with calour for 50p a liter. Even if I use 3x more gas. Its still alot cheaper. 7p kW x 3 that's 21p kW. I herd come January upto 60p kW. I like the air source but the figures aren't adding up. I have underfloor heating set at 19. Rads upstairs. Set at same. I leave heating at same level day or night in winters

Hi, I built a 4 bedroom detached house in 2014. The council said I could only have ground or air source. I couldn't afford ground, so a 14kw samsung air souce was put in through a compy called joules. It works very well. I was happy with the system. The trouble is back then electric was 12p kwh. Now it's 28, going upto 42 in October. My bills are massive. I'm useing around 15000kw. I got a qoute to fix electric, came in at £8000. I'm seriously thinking of ripping it out and putting lpg gas in! 1 liter of gas is equivalent to 7kw. Say gas at 50p a liter that's 7p kwh. £5000 to install gas? Anybody got a better idea?
