How much electricity do you use in a month for that £16?
By contrast, my apartment was empty last month with only zombie loads, the fridge, 2 routers, a set top box, and two Nest thermostats left on. My electric bill was $46 for about 150kWh. This is with no lights, heating, cooling, or hot water heater running. (Hot water is demand provided by the building and billed per gallon so not even a tank being kept warm)
150kWh in a month is about 200 watt continuous which seems a bit high but not double what I would expect.
And you’re saying you heat your water in that £16...?
