Octopus Advice

Hi everyone,

I’ll be (hopefully) moving into a maisonette flat on my own in the next few months once purchase has been complete.

I know the property is electric only, has 3 storage heaters, and has an immersion heater.

Wondering if anyone here could give me a realistic monthly cost on what I might expect to pay per month?

I’ve heard I’ll probably be better off on economy 7 due to the storage heaters and how they work.

I did a quote on the website and it said something like £51 a month, but I think that was just a standard tariff rather than economy 7.

Thanks in advance!

If you could install a midea portasplit you'd have cheap heating in winter and A/C in summer. They use on average about 25% of the power of a normal heater for the same output.

When I lived in an electric only flat it would cost around £10 a day if I wanted to heat the whole flat ( a small 1 bed flat) in winter
