continuous measurement of electricity usage

Does anyone know of system which will record electricity usage by a GSHP please? It is an old system, about 15 years, and it has a soft start but it obviously uses a lot despite that but how much?

Re: How about an "end of year" competition?

Yes let’s do it, I can see that it is fun and a “crude” approximation etc but is it worth adding an approximation of miles travelled on land, sea and air and whether retired or not? Next year I could improve dramatically by not travelling to visit family in Australia and New Zealand! They are coming...

Re: Kia? Niro?

We have both a Kia e-Niro and an MG5 and they both good. We test drove a Tesla and we were put off by everything (?) being controlled from the central touch screen. The Kia has a bit of that and the MG has more, so having a passenger helps control the heating, radio, screen demist but it does have s...

No maintenance except clean 2 filters once a year and ours heats water for radiators and washing etc but our sons have air to air heat pumps and they are wonderful. Even less maintenance and very cost effective ie 3 times as much heat energy out as elect...

Cumbrian coal mine

Awful decision to approve this mine in my opinion. Yes the area needs jobs and there have been years of discussions, time enough to set up alternative employment. However questions please.
