Just a quick one if someone could suggest a best way to do this?
I occasionally run some experiments at home which consumes a lot of electricity. I am in a shared house and want to make a decent extra contribution to the electricity bill. I can call up the utilities company and pay and get a receipt but is this okay and do I need to show a calculation of the energy consumption or just assume a reasonable of figure?
Thank you 😀
Surely once you sell your crop you can pay everyones' bill 😉
Take meter reading before you unleash hell.
Take meter reading after hell has been unleashed.
Work out how much power has been consumed, calculate the £££ and put that into a pot for the next bill payment.

what you running your own Hadron Collider?? 😉
Agree with Allthpies on how to get an accurate figure.
@rubeboy - took me a minute to get that, then I chuckled 😀
allthepies - Problem is lots of other electrical devices running in the house at the same time. Fridge, freezer...the experiments run from about 8am to 2am and it is an oven that runs off a 13 plug (2kw). Obviously the oven is not running all that time - then it gets up to temp the heater switches off but the fan stays on, then I have cooling stages etc. Thinking back I should have bought one of those power meter plug things but I didn't think of that - your suggestion made me think about those things.

Seasonal?
take a reading from 8am to 2am on a normal (non experiment) day then, gives you a base figure, no?
@loum: 😆 damn, busted 
@kcal: like all the best ideas - that is a blinding obvious and simple one - nice one 😀
