Possible Bill Issues
High
Electricity usage appears very high
Your electricity use is significantly above the adjusted benchmark for a household like yours.
Check heating controls, appliances, hot water settings and overnight devices.
Personalised Recommendations
Quick wins
Request a smart meter installation
Smart meters provide accurate readings and near-real-time usage data, which can help identify waste.
Contact your supplier to request a free smart meter installation.

Appliances and baseload
Find your overnight baseload
Your overall usage is elevated (electricity 52% above benchmark), which is consistent with an unidentified overnight load.
Energy used at night when nothing should be running is often wasted. Identifying it is the first step.
Take a meter reading just before bed and again first thing in the morning. Divide the kWh by the hours to find your overnight draw. Typical homes: 0.2–0.5 kWh/h. More than that suggests appliances or devices left on.

Turn off devices at the wall when not in use
Triggered by above-benchmark overall usage (electricity 52% above benchmark).
Devices on standby (TVs, game consoles, set-top boxes, phone chargers) can account for 10–15% of electricity use.
Use plug-in smart sockets or power strips with switches. Unplug chargers when not in use.

Bill and tariff checks
Check your tariff name and end date
Fixed tariffs that have ended often move to expensive standard variable rates automatically.
Log into your supplier's account portal. Check your current tariff name, unit rate and when it ends.

Compare suppliers
Even within the Ofgem price cap, unit rates and standing charges vary between suppliers.
Use Ofgem's comparison tool or a price comparison site such as Uswitch, MoneySupermarket or Which?.

Longer-term improvements
Investigate cavity wall insulation
Cavity wall insulation can reduce heat loss through walls significantly and may be subsidised via government schemes.
Check whether your home has cavity walls (most homes built after 1930). Get a survey to confirm and ask about ECO4 or Great British Insulation Scheme grants.

Important: This report provides estimates based on the information entered and the bills provided. Results should be treated as indicative only. Possible savings are not guaranteed. Energy Pilot is not an energy supplier and does not switch you automatically. Energy use varies based on property size, insulation, heating system, occupancy, weather, tariff and behaviour. Benchmark comparisons are based on Ofgem typical domestic consumption values. Always verify bill information with your energy supplier. For formal advice, consult an accredited energy adviser or assessor.
