TOMO 26,332 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Last night from midnight till 8 am I turned everything off in our house including the fridge freezer, and the freezer outside, the only thing on was a landing light for the kids, with an energy saving bulb in,,and of course the heat lamp in the kennel. The lamp in the kennel is a pro lamp with a 100 wat ceramic dull immiter ,,, in that 8 hour period I used 13 p of electric,,, so times 3 it would be 39 p for the day.. Just for any lads that might be interested,,,, or at least the ones that arnt to tight....... Edited December 13, 2012 by TOMO 5 Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,332 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I think it depends on the bulb,,, remember the one I'm using right now is 100 wat,,, if there using a 250 like i was then there's going to be a big difference, and remember 40 p is 280 a week, you could proberbly double that at least on a bigger bulb,, making at around 6 pound a week ,,, times that by 12 is 72 pound on top of your regular bill Quote Link to post

bird 9,940 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 what ever the price its cold out there, the water bowls were frozen feckin solid this morning, give them the the best food, good warm kennel, and you get the best out of them. Put my heat lamps on (red bulb) 10 pm to 10am, plus they are in 1 kennel it all helps, even though Bucks drving Bryn nuts 1 Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,180 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 You can always turn it off in the day time, or when temperatures allow. Quote Link to post
