My house needs around 65 Kw/h a day ( + some gas in the winter). The pool and cars are a large proportion of this.
It seems to me swapping to a tariff with a very low night rate, but high day rate, then managing when the cars charge and pool heats makes would make a substantial saving. ( £5.5K to £3.5k ex standing charge).
Then adding off grid PV to reduce the day consumption would further improve the saving; finally charging the batteries from the cheap rate juice to cope with dark winter days would be the icing on the cake. ( £3.5k to £1K)
The figure are pre price hike ( 1 yr left on fixed price contract) post hike the saving is even more impressive.
Any thoughts guys.
