To ask what your gas and electric costs are each month?

£190 DD, we have a large surplus at the moment and £26 of the cost is standing charge. Large house, 2 adults WFH and 1 child. Lots of screens and large TV, some heat leakage by the roof, but apart from that fairly efficient and our house is kept consistently warm by the Nest. The overall annual gas and electricity cost is less than the previous cost of one of us commuting for 190 days per year (still a few days commuting needed each month).

3 bed semi, 2 adults 3 children.

Elec only economy 7 tariff as no mains gas here.

Summer £100 DD
Winter £250-300 month depending on how cold it is.
Currently in credit which should cover extra winter if it's not too cold.

We have smart heating and a wood burner so try to limit heating and will heat some rooms at night only to protect from frost.

Mine is because it is really well insulated and once it is warm 'holds' the heat. And as I said I don't notice the cold as much as other people.

I've also just signed up to EDF's 'Sunday Saver' this is my first week and I will be getting free electricity on Sunday 8am to 4pm so I thing there will be more washing and drying and charging and dishwashing going on.

You need to be with EDF and you need to cut down on week day use between 4pm to 7pm. For me this is great, I often have a nap around then and I don't work. I realise for a family with young children 4pm - 7pm it is virtually impossible to cut down.

£145 per month- my DD27 is disabled and in all day, using multiple tech etc and can't get cold as it makes her conditions worse. Am in credit by £200+ ready for Winter which means I won't have to pay any more than what I pay atm.

In some locations that would mean using virtually no energy once you take off standing charges. Makes me realise how the uneven standing charge across the country/suppliers is ridiculous.

We're £115 DD a month this is for both from same supplier. 2 bed bungalow...generally in credit most of the time.

Me too. Always have, always will (hopefully).
Helped me in various previous jobs working with numbers all day. 😬

£120 at the moment. We paid £260 last winter with the heating on

It will depend on house age, location, standing charge in your area, supplier etc.
We live in one of the coldest locations in the UK so we need heating earlier, standing charge is higher, we have no mains gas etc.

134 per month. 2.5 bed maisonette but no double glazing, very cold!

How is everyone's so cheap?
Mine right now is 140 and we haven't even started putting th heating on.
In Jan this year it was 280
4 bed terrace

No mains gas where we live, and so we're all electric (there is a coal fire which I currently refuse to use and will soon not be able to anyway). All electric houses always have to pay more overall, even with economy 7.
Welcome to the future when they phase out gas. 😵‍💫
We have just had new heaters installed and are awaiting new boiler.

£157 a month, combined.
Small 3 bedroom end terrace, but autistic child that doesn't like clothes, so we need the heating on quite a bit.
Also have the worst rated energy on all our appliances.

£250 per month electricity, washing machine and dryer constantly on! And we have a large electric appliance that is always on that helps heat the house.

Gas is cheaper as we use less probably £150pm in the winter, next to nothing in the summer.

3 bed, 2 adults, 1 child.

£70 - £90 a month. 2 bed bungalow, 1 person + carer 3 x a week

I have a smart meter and pay what I use each month.

I'm someone who doesn't feel the cold as much as others so I pay more in the summer for fans and aircon.

That is a very good and psychologically helpful point

How did you build up that kind of credit only paying £80? I take it not a smart meter have the got the right meter readings? Only id worry about them underestimating use, if you ask for that kind of sum to be returned they typically ask for pictures of your meter readings.

£250 😭

Four bed house with four people living here, plus wfh so in the winter the heating is sometimes on in the day too.

It's so depressing. Our council tax has just gone up again too.

We pay £104 a month, 5 of us in a 4 bedroom semi, no solar, combined gas and electric. Around £180 in credit with octopus.

We do have smart sockets that turn everything off automatically when out, nest heating, led bulbs, tend to shower and charge devices at work only which keeps things down.

That's my rainy day money, if I had it, chances are I would spend it, it's for if say my washer dies & needs replacing.

Why?! You're better off keeping the money than letting them have it

£80 per month dual fuel, but I'm £1600 in credit & they keep on trying to drop my DD to £5 a month which I immediately swap back to £80. 2 bed flat.

Sure he doesn't advise against dd !

About 55 electric and 60 gas for a very small place but I run dehumidifier every night and am at home a lot during the day.

@TeenLifeMum unfortunately not where I am. No money from council. Plus conservation area. Already looked into any possible grants or reliefs. Nothing.
