I have an OWL electricity monitor which gives readings close to my smart meter, but throughout every night (and though the day) there is a spike in consumption about every 30 mins amounting to about 2 kw.
I have tried turning off the hot water system as that seemed like a likely cause.
Our heating is gas powered underfloor and the pump doesn't come on at night at the temperature setting we have set.
This is a vital issue as even when we are away on holiday and the heating is on frost setting only, we still use 15 - 17 kWh per day!! When we are in the house is comes to between 35 and 40 kwh for an annual total of almost 12,000 kWh for electricity only. Â
There are only two of us in the house, which is heavily insulated and four years old.
We have only normal and up-to-date appliances - washer, tumble dryer, kitchen ovens, etc. What on earth can be causing this level of consumption?
