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

£75 a month for both gas/electricity
One bedroom flat

@Gardenlover121 can't quite match yours but definitely feel like I'm paying more than every other person on this thread.

5 adults living in 4 bedroom semi detached stone built 1930s house. Insulated roof/double glazed windows etc. Paying £190/month (only £100 in credit at the moment). We have the heating on maybe 2 hours max in the evening only.

DH has electric car, and lots of tech stuff in use in house, but still, our bill seems higher than everyone else!! With Octopus and haven't got a smart meter.

£278 a month. We’re £400 in credit. 4 bed, 2 bath Victorian with single glazing.

We pay £100 DD for gas and electric year round. We’re over £600 in credit as we have solar panels and batteries and have made money over the summer from exporting (not as much as last year though!). The credit will see us through the winter. We have the heating on all the time (thermostat) and use a tumble dryer. 4 bed detached house with 2 adults 2 children.

Our DD is variable depending on what we use. We don't accrue credit for the energy suppliers to enjoy!

Currently spending around £60 electric and £30 gas (including standing charge and VAT) per month. But we're switching this week to a cheaper tariff with another supplier. No solar (yet) or batteries but we do have an EV.

Shop around for the best deal!

£40 fixed gas. Electric is variable between £70 and £90 but I do work at home.

£86 per month combined, two adults in a 1920's style terrace.

Two bedroom flat. I pay quarterly by bill, which is £50 a month maximum. However - it's a 1737 property and I rarely put the heating on as it flies out of the sash windows. So it's all electricity and hot water for one adult.

I pay by DD as you get a tiny discount, but keep an eye on the amount and don't let credit build up, which Martin Lewis also advises! Paying the bill as you go means at least the companies aren't sitting on any of your money.

4 bed semi, 3 of us, one wfh permanently. Heating only on morning and evening for a couple of hours, set to 18.5. DD was £220 but I upped it to £270 as we were using around £400 a month last winter and had no credit. It's always chilly, but refuse to use more energy than we are already using. Oodies and hot water bottles are used daily.

No wonder the energy companies are raking it in with so many posters having large amounts of credit sitting in someone else's bank account!

£400 DD and we're £1500 in credit to get us through the winter. During the coldest months we were spending £650 a month on gas and electric.
We have a 5 bed Victorian house which is generally cold. We also have an electric car but we do have solar as well.

I pay $120 AUD a month for electricity and $40 for gas. So about 80 gbp a month for a five bedroomed house with pool. I am in Oz though and have solar panels and power costs here are low in WA. We could make it lower, tumble drier is on every day and we have three fridge freezers, multiple tvs. Our usage goes up in winter as we use a heater then, air con in
n summer etc is covered by the solar in day time hours. That’s for three people, and we will get $700 in cost of living electricity credit this years too, so I am in about $600 credit at the minute.

We do, can’t see why you wouldn’t.

4bed detached house. 3-4 adults. £120 a month total with £500 credit we are deciding whether to have back or leave over winter. Dh is very good at managing bills and moving to better deals.

£400

Has anyone not had monthly statements recsntly from Octopus? Had nothing since 8th August yet they deduct funds from the credit without saying what the usage was.

£350 combined, 4/5 bed house, 4 adults.

In Scotland, so heating has been on since the last week in September. I always try to get to October without it but I’ve not managed yet, because Scotland

Is everyone paying by direct debit? I’ve just moved house and most of the providers want to sign me up to direct debit but I’d rather pay the bill as I go, also Martin Lewis advises against paying by direct debit.

Not sure how much it's going to be exactly but electricity costs have halved since we had solar panels - this is the first winter though and obviously nowhere near as much sun and light now. It means we have built up quite a good credit.

Last autumn/winter (before having solar panels) it was about £2-300 a month for gas & electric - 4 bed semi detached, 3 adults, two teenagers. More the year before, some months it was over £400. One is away at university now which does make a slight difference too. Was paying about £200 a month but dropped it to £100 not to build up too much credit, have about £600, so will just watch the credit going down over winter and adjust accordingly.

5 bed, 3 storey, newish house, around £280 per month all in. There's always a few of us at home working or studying, so the house always needs to be warm. We cook lots and no one except me seems to know that lights can also be switched off.

My husband's direct debit is currently £450 per month for gas and electricity. That's for a draughty five bedroom Victorian housemate.

How on earth

£100 oil
£120 electric

5 bedroom house with 5 and soon to be 6 people
in it

I pay £150 each month throughout the year but only use about £100 in the spring, summer and into autumn. Then use about £170 over Winter months. Over the summer I've got a credit balance of about £460 but I'll use it all over the Winter.
