minus-squareDaniel Quinn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·3 days ago She says at one stage her energy company called to suggest she doubled her direct debit to £845 per month. Even in the dead of winter, my all-electric house with three people in it had a bill of £171.73. How the hell does anyone get up to £845?? Are these ventilators really so inefficient, or are electricity prices in Yorkshire something like £3/kWh?
