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

Almost £300 per month. Large 4 bed semi, 5 adults and several dogs and cats. Rarely use the gch so the costs are mainly electric - we do have an electric shower.. Never in credit!

Two of us in a small two- bedroom terraced house, electric only and paying £10 per month.

As you might have guessed, this is because we had built up a large amount of credit, so are vastly under-paying at the moment to balance things out again.

The only reason I'm posting this is to point out that what people are paying at any given moment and how much energy they are actually using can be very different things.

Our actual monthly usage over a year will average out at over £100 (I can't remember the precise predicted figure and don't want to work it out right now).

My point is that other people's monthly payments have to be taken with a pinch of salt and are pretty meaningless unless they can guarantee that the figure they give is close to 1/12 of their average annual usage

4 bed, 3 storey rural house, 2 adults.
€150/€200 pm with energia.
Use oil for heating, approx €2.5k annually. Use open fire when freezing, €120 for a load that lasts a few months. Solar panels as well, which are bloody useless in this country!

£180 month for both. 3 bed terrace and 3 of us. That balances out quite nicely without ever getting into energy debt. Heating is on 24/7 now until April and set to 20°. I'll turn it up if the weather gets proper cold.

I think my unit price must be quite high as I'm on the most green / expensive octopus deal.

£420 per month for a five bed detached. Two adults, two kids. We are on Calor gas rather than mains gas and it’s expensive. We also have an electric car and DH and I both work from home.

Really interesting variations. Ours is set at £148 per month direct debit combined gas and electric.

4 bed newbuild house with a study. We had a hot tub until 2 months ago so I’m interested to know what difference that makes as it was here when we moved in, but it was a high spec one so well insulated. Also we are a family of 2 adults and 3 teens.

we’re currently £410 in credit.

we use the tumble dryer all the time and are really not strict about our usage, but we have held off putting the heating on… I think it might go on tonight!

Average is £89 per month (gas and electric), two bed ground floor flat. I haven’t had the heating on since April and I generally just layer up. I pay for what I use and report readings each month, so nothing accumulated.

5 bed house and we pay £322 a month, all through the year.

this is with octopus.

i don’t even use a tumble dryer

90 euros a month for a two bedroom apartment. We live in a new build with a rating of A+. It’s double what it was 2 years ago. I have a smart meter and so I pay what I owe.

£128 pm for a 3 bed semi, 2 adults, 2 kids, but we're not using that at the moment & also overpaying so lots of credit for Winter.

I pay for what I use, so no DD, but it's between £50-£70 per month for one person in a tiny (really small) cottage. I don't have the heating on, take two showers a day and do laundry once a week. So much of mine is standing charge. It's electricity only, no gas to our village.

£50 a month for each on a prepayment meter, we normally use all the lecky and there's about £100 extra built up on the gas. Tiny 2 bed 1830's terrace with granite walls. Both neighbours have the heating on full whack which helps! We keep ours at 20 for the toddler otherwise we'd just be wearing jumpers 😅

5 bed, 5 adults, 2 electric cars, one belonging to student DS who also works using his car twice a week. Gaming teen son. DH works from home and we are tech heavy! Lots of washing and I iron but line dry and heat house to 20 degrees in the evenings.
£560 per month!

I pay £200 a month but I’m in debt, hardly have the heating on. I’m with eon next and wish I could move supplier.

Why do we keep asking the same question?

Is it a competition - ooh, I have 7 children and 19 adults and pay 50p? Or, I'm a single parent earning £2,400 and I'm paying £400 a month.

It's pointless. Why keep asking??

Just check your tariff, check your usage, and use a comparison website (preferably one that gives you cash back).

Job done.

£160 a month. 4 bedroom semi.3 of us.

to add we regularly submit meter readings as don't want to end up with a huge bill due to estimated readings

I live by myself in a 3 bed end terrace heating is only on if I'm in and that's not all that often and if it is it's max 19/20 for maybe 2/3 hours I feel like I'm being robbed.
£114 DD currently in credit.
I do use my tumble dryer once a week for bedding and towels but I fail to see why it's so high to be honest

220 combined 3 bed semi detached old bungalow. That being said I won't be cold our stat is set to come on morning and evening when it goes below 19.5 but as it gets colder that will be moved up to 21 we do override it if it gets cold and temperature in house goes below 18 I work from home and it's too cold otherwise. so a couple of days last week turned it on during the day until it got to 19.5 though will alter that as it gets colder set to come on at 14 or below overnight which very rarely happens. We do have a tumble dryer which in winter is used every other day 3 adults i would never get the washing dry.
we also have an electric fire which we use either to top up if very cold or instead of heating if we don't over ride it and sit in the lounge
I would rather eat beans on toast than be cold though fortunately we can afford it though for many many years we struggled but at 55 I can't be cold

Just had my monthly bill as I'm on a smart meter. I pay £93 per month. I'm £247 in credit. (This month my total bill was £78)
2 bed 1930s semi - had a brand new boiler last month, so hoping that's more efficient. 2 of us in the house, DD spent 3 nights a week at her dads. We both shower daily, I run the tumble dryer 4 times per week and I put the heating on when I'm cold. I have a log burner so will use that a couple of nights instead of heating.

£100pm electricity all year round

£300pm gas from (October - March)

£50pm (April - September)

225 a month 90s build with 3 people. 2 work from home the majority of the time.

I would be careful if your usage is estimated. You may find yourself with a huge bill! You need to be submitting monthly readings.

£55 as the hot tub is off it should be around £200. We pay on bill

Interesting! Just checked ours; £112 pcm, 3-bed semi, two adults, two teens. I've always thought we did alright, but clearly there are some very savvy people on this thread.

Ours is about 150 combined. 6 bed house, but it is quite well insulated and we are v stingy.
