600 litres!  Ouch!!!

Usually closer to 300 at present, but we are gradually moving from the childhood to the shower-hogging teenager phase of life, so only anticipate it getting worse over the next few years! Part of the motivation for all our upgrades 🙂

@derek-m Information for this at: https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/energy-saving-products

It does require an installer to carry out the workas in my own circumstances. Regards, Toodles.

@josephiah Roll-on the days of ‘Fledging’ eh?! Though as I understand it they may grow their wings but still stay ‘at home;! Regards, Toodles.

That is easily remedied, you just change all the locks whilst they are out. 😋

@derek-m Do they ever all go out at the same time though? Regards, Toodles.

Quite a nice illustration of the effect of switching to Cosy - guess which day we started!

1000008474

On the data I've had so far (my smart meter's horribly laggy, though seems to catch up after a few days), we're hitting a 14-15% saving on our total electricity bill.

Because I have battery capacity for the day, (so far at least) I have only needed to use the lowest rate 6 hours each day to keep the Powerwalls topped up to cover the other 75% of the day. (Capacity that is also useful when we have saving sessions!) Whilst we have 10 degrees C. plus temperatures, the Daikin 8 kW heat pump is ticking over at 0.5 kW/h or less. 🙂 I still receive the daily summaries for Agile and although the lowest rates have dipped to negative here and there, I’ll be sticking with Cosy for simplicity and to save my better half having to worry should I be unable to pick out the cheapest half-hours with Agile. Regards, Toodles.
