I asked ChatGPT for the best energy tariff

I asked ChatGPT 

'If my electricity is 25.88p per unit and the standing charge is 43.66p for Tariff 1, and Tariff 2 is 24.96p per unit and standing charge is 62.22p, what would my usage need to be in kWhours for my bill to be the same under either tariff?'

It replied 'The usage needs to be approximately 20.17 kWh for the bill to be the same under either tariff.'

From the answer, it seems that one tariff would always be cheaper than the other as long as my usage was 20kWh or more which is easily surpassed as I use about 2000 kWh annually.

So I then asked:

'What would my bill be for one year of 2000 kWh of use under both tariffs?'

and got the reply:

Under Tariff 1, the annual bill would be approximately £676.96 (67695.9p), and under Tariff 2, it would be approximately £726.30 (72630.3p), assuming the standing charges are applied daily.

Simples! 

So I changed my Octopus electricity Tariff to the cheaper 12m fixed tariff since my annual usage will always be greater than a measly 20kWh!

Before I got a cheap Air Fryer (#Amazon ad), I used to put my small cooker oven on every day and my electric energy bill was over £900/yr, so the Air Fryer has easily paid for itself in just one year of use. If your loved ones don't have one already, why not buy them one for Christmas - they save electricity (esp. when you pre-microwave the veggies first in a small amount of water) and improve your diet because you can eat fresh food every day without needing to stand over the hob for ages.

Tip: If you or your relatives already have an Air Fryer, then these disposable paper liners (#ad) make a great gift - they save wear and tear on the caddy's non-stick surfaces and saves washing up! If you like them, you can get them cheaper from Ali Express.

If you have an elderly relative, an electric throw blanket makes a great Xmas gift. It saves energy bills and keeps them nice and warm all evening. Tip: Buy a dark colour as you won't need to wash it so often.
