My typical Smart meter summer weekly (incl. daily charges): electric 41.8 kWh = £6.94 gas (water heating only) 147.7 kWh = £3.69 incl. daily.
Regarding the figures that you posted. You’re on a good tariff there Electricity 14.8p/kWh Gas 2.495p/kWh plus 19.8p per day each, better than my Avro Energy tariff which is Electricity 15.54p/kWh Gas 2.62p/kWh plus 20.48p per day each inc VAT.
However wrt your usage - electricity 41.8KWh (units) per week (~6 units per day) I can understand, sounds lower than average but depends on what appliances you have and how much you are at home during the day.
But gas for water heating 147.7 KWh, that’s about 1.9 units of gas per day (147.7/11 per week). That’s over twice our average summer usage of 0.8 units a day, and some weeks our usage is as low as 0.65 units a day, that’s 1/3 of your usage. This usage is also just for water heating.
At say £4 a day (£3.69 + 2x19.8) if your figures are correct that’d make your annual bill about £1460 (365 x £4)!. And that’s assuming summer usage all year, and during the winter I’m sure your gas usage is much higher. I find that very high and very hard to believe TBH. Somethings wrong somewhere, don’t think its my calculations.
Our total annual bill these days is about £850, that’s for 2200KWh of electricity and 13,500 KWh of Gas per year, inclusive of daily charges and VAT. When choosing a supplier these days I always look for the one that offers the lowest gas tariff, for obvious reasons.
