Advice and Assistance

Figures for November 2024 are higher than normal because we began improving our Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP). For a few weeks we relied entirely on gas for heating and cooling, instead of just for water heating and extreme external temperatures.

For comparison, October 2024 figures were: 18,608.1 kWh at a cost of £1,419.26 (excluding VAT).

Please view our Annual Reports for further information sustainability which includes details of our usage of gas and electricity and the tariffs OS Annual Report 2023 - 2024.
