Hiw much was your January gas and elec bill?

Me too! I can’t bear the heating on while I’m sleeping. Feel so hot and thirsty. Probably gets down to about 13-14 degrees on a cold night.

£130 for a 2 bedroom flat, we have had the heating on alot, we now only £2.45 in credit but we will make it up in summer. We pay £82a month

£470 for a 4 bed 1930s semi.

£102, but we don't use the central heating or have a tumble dryer.

£350 gas for early dec-mid January (about 5.5 weeks) and £150 is typical for electric - don't have bill yet as it's not by calender month.
Larger than average house that's not a naturally warm place, and a disabled person in the house who is quite sedentary so needs heating up a bit. Set to between 18 and 21 between 6am and 8pm depending on the room. 17 overnight except under floor heating rooms which is always set to 19.
Aware it's an absolute privilege to be able to afford it and we do sacrifice other things to be able to do it.

Should have said 5 bed detached house built in 2000. We don't have a tumble drier.

£260. We don't have the heating on at night and 18 during the day when needed. We don't sit in the cold trying not to turn it on. This was less than the same period last year. Our monthly DD is £156.

£245 this month and £240 December.

Just read water bills going up 32% too over next 5 years. (United Utilities)

Dreading the council tax bill landing.

I worked out yesterday we have spent £1100 on food this month including wine and the odd treat like McDonald’s. I couldn’t believe it.

Wow some of these are eye watering - so sorry to read some stories. Mine has just come through - I was £45 in credit and they want another £36 - so circa £90 for the month. Meant to say two bed flat in Swansea - I’m right by the sea so it can be chilly but I’m fairly tolerant of cold and don’t have the heating on a timer but turn it on manually when I need it.

£195 gas and electricity for January. Four bedroom townhouse with crap drafty windows and doors and radiators they have broken thermostats. The heating isn't on overnight. I've never understood the need for that at all. The dishwasher is on daily. Washing machine most days and the drier when I have no choice.

Tiny 2 bed cottage and we're coming in at approx £400 but we are electric only (no mains gas in village) and charge an electric vehicle. The house is poorly insualted. We're getting an air source heat pump and solar panels this week on the ECO4 Government Grant and I can't wait cos these bills are awful and the house barely reaches 14/15 degrees.

Electric only was £85 last month not had this month's yet. Use tumble drier sparingly for an hour each wash then finish off on airer. Also use air fryer not oven which saves loads. Heated blankets on bed and downstairs to save a bit of heating oil.
Heating never on overnight and on a timer about 6 hours a day when it's really cold.
Good insulation in loft so house is quite warm though the kitchen gets pretty cold as it's an extension.

Oil costs around £800 a year.
Small 3 bed semi. E Yorks.

British Gas. I think being in a terrace must make a world of difference.

Our thermostat is set at 19° 7am to 11pm every day then down to 18 or 17 overnight.

We're in Southampton so about as far south as you can get as well.

Mine was 205. 5 bed town house. Not even had my heating on at all 😭

I'm horrified 😦

I'm
On about £200 a month new build 4 bed detached with solar and heat pump all electric heating set to 19 all day and 18 at night

£45 electricity
£40 gas

I live in a ground floor flat and it's well insulated. I have thermostat on 19.

I am on Octopus Tracker - £87 for both. 3 bed semi new build.

£183 from dec 26th to jan 26th. 3 bed semi, thermostat set to 21 during the day and 16 during the night. EDF variable rate. Think that’s pretty reasonable all things considered.

It will work out as around £180 dual fuel in a 3 bed 1950s terrace.

Heating on 12-14 at night and 18.5-19.5 during the day, weather dependent (I have to put the heating on more on rainy days as it gets very damp).

I'm on pre pay and pay £130 combined each month throughout the year. I still have over £300 total in credit. 2 bed bungalow with heating at 21degrees during the day and off at night. No tumble dryer or dishwasher though.

£55.70 for electricity, £15.60 for gas (incl standing charges) - no home generation. Very conscientious energy user.

About £150 for both.

Three bed detached, 1970s but with recent improvements to insulation, windows and new boiler.

Includes car charging. Have Octopus Go and run the tumble dryer dishwasher etc between 11.30pm and 5.30am when it's 7p per KwH.

£300 here. We've had the heating on approx 5 hours a day, can't afford any more really. Victorian large house 12 foot ceilings so it never gets above 15/16 degrees this time of year anyway. Literally just burning money 😭

£164, £117 of which was gas (so heating), and we were away for five of the coldest days so it was on frost setting. Three bed semi, Midlands, retired, so home a fair bit.
