This is mine,£285 and I wouldn't say it has been particularly cosy warm.

We set the thermo to 15 at night and up to 17 in the afternoon to take the chill off and get the radiators warmer.

This is for a 1930 three bed semi.

It isnt going to get better is it?

£491 for gas, £84 for electricity. 4 bed victorian semi, kept at 19C as we have a baby. Feel a bit sick when I think about it honestly.

I won’t know until Friday but I’d estimate about £150 combined for the month, if it comes in below that I’ll be pleased as the weather here has been diabolical and I’ve been working from home almost every day. I’m out more in February so hoping for closer to £120 that month, we’ll see…

I haven't had a bill yet but so far we are sitting at £114 for gas and £93 for electricity. I don't scrimp on heating and use the tumble drier every day in winter.

Forgot to say, standard 1960 3 bed semi detached

£175 all electric for a small one bed bungalow, no tumble dryer, retired so home all day but just two of us & a dog, we're only heating the room we're using, taking a daily shower, and it's been very cold, not at all cosy

2 bed Victorian terrace.

Both retired so heating on 24/7

Gas 137 electricity 67.

Done lots of tumble drying and heating only down to 18° overnight most nights.

Have been very cozy so worth every £

MissBuzzard · 29/01/2025 16:47

£160 so far. 4/5 bed detached with a heat pump. 20 during the day, 19 overnight.

PeterPicklePiper · 29/01/2025 16:46

£340 4 bed detached built in 2016. Heating for an hours in the morning and lunch time (I work at home and it’s freezing in between) then in the evening it comes on. We have thermostat at 22 and 18 at night

I've just submitted my meter reading and waiting to be told I have no money left ...

Secularbeaver · 29/01/2025 16:41

£275 3 bed semi with a loft conversion, I use a dryer fairly often too - we have the heating on for an hour in the morning and from 5-8.
We do have two fridge freezers but other than that I'd not say we're particularly extravagant. Can't really see what we can cut out 😭

HollyBollyBooBoo · 29/01/2025 16:38

£234 for a 3 floor 3 bed semi. I'm addicted to the tumble dryer though so that won't help. On days when everyone is at work and therefore no heating or appliances on we spend about £4 total!

itsjustbiology · 29/01/2025 16:38

No its not going to get better . Mine was Oct/Nov/Dec £450. and pence, Jan/Feb/Mar will be worse I know.

YouCantBeSirius · 29/01/2025 16:35

£166.87 for the last 30 days. 3 bed semi built under 15 years ago. Thermostat set to 22 when at home and 17 overnight. Heavy use of tumble dryer over the winter too.
