Many houses have natural gas central heating to heat water filled 
radiators. Some apartments/ blocks of flats usually have electric night 
storage radiators. Current 'normal' electric costs ~23p/kWh. My 4 bed 
detached house ( we're retired) used to use 270 kWh/month. total cost 
then was around £90/month including 5% vat. We also have to pay a 
'standing charge' of 60p /day ( robbery charge). I now have solar + 
9.5kW battery . Summer months I'm a net exporter. Winter my bills are 
tiny. I import cheap overnight ( somtimes I get paid to import!) 
~10p/kWh and runn off the battery all day . On a sunny day, I import 
less the following morning.
