Re: The Energy Crisis
I bought a dehumidifier about 5 or 6 years ago. It's mainly been sat in a cupboard but as they are all the rage right now I decided to have a look. The sticker on the back says power consumption - 332 Watts. Is that reasonable?

Re: The Energy Crisis
How are you receiving your energy bill Govt rebates (of £400) from your energy supplier?
Mine has given a seemingly random reduction of £66 from my latest monthly bill...

Re: The Energy Crisis
I’ve had 2 x £66 payments into my electricity supplier account (£66 is one-sixth of £400).

When are the gov going to sort out the outdated linking of electric rates to gas.
Renewables provide a fair bit of the countries electric and they have not gone up

They have been looking into it for months
Perhaps it's not in their interests ....

If solid wall insulation is on this I will be seriously considering it
Can cut the gas even further and make the HVAc even more efficient

Re: The Energy Crisis
70,000 homes doesn't sound like very many. End of 2020 there were 14.3m houses with cavity insulation, which was 70% of houses with cavity walls. That leaves about 6.1m houses without.

I'm sure those figures have changed since with house building and so on.
A 9 year Government failure on policies to promote this and now a sticking plaster over a gaping wound.

Anything below 50mm , for example, can cause more issues than it solves. Also houses in coastal areas where damp penetration can be an issue.

Re: The Energy Crisis
Don't I know it. 1930's house with 25mm cavity so can't be done. Back of the house is extension so ok, just the front. Am looking at insulating from the inside.

Wasn't it suggested - possibly even in this thread, actually - that supermarkets were keeping their fuel prices a little higher to continue to offer lower food prices in store?Hummer_I_mean_Hammer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 7:20 am https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/fleet- ... 5p-a-litre
