We replaced our gas stove with induction and our water heater with an electric one this past year and disconnected the gas. Now our solar panels offset a lot of the cost of electricity and our main bill is for water.

Happy with an induction cooktop, it boils water quicker and is easier to keep clean. My only concern is someone dropping a heavy pot onto the glass surface.

Your main bill is for WATER?? Maybe this is because water in Spain is subsidized, but may I ask how much water you use per month?

We averaged 1800 litres a day according to our last bill, but it’s summer here in Australia so the reticulation for the garden is on and the pool needs to be topped up because of evaporation.

Our last bill showed an average of 763 litres a day usage so that would represent the cooler months.
