How much do you pay for Gas & Electricity?

[Anonymouscat20]

Sorry if that seems like a cheeky question to ask how much everyone pays. Only, myself and my partner worked from home during the pandemic, my partner is back at work and I work two days in the office and the rest at home. My usual bill for gas and electricity is around £90 (although fluctuates quarterly and is less during the summer months). It has now gone up to £140 because of my extra usage working from home. I’m scared to use more heating during the winter months in case the price hikes up again. Is this expensive and is this a typical price at this time of year? Sorry I’ve only been a homeowner two years!

Is that £90 per month?

Mine fluctuates £80-£130 approx

I pay £95 pm for a 2 bedroom, with one of us being at home since March and heating on full blast, tumble dryer etc.

It’ll vary to the number is bedrooms, age of the building, detached, mid terrace etc.

£88pm. Three bedroom house, dh has always wfh, and I have too since Covid.

Ours is detached, sorry. 1960s build, I think.

I answered this the order day as £220 was pleasantly surprised to find it’s actually £160 a month.

Average duel fuel bill was £104.50 per month in the UK

2 preschoolers, 2 adults- 3 bed terrace (people at home in the day)- in summer it was £58 combined for a month, I expect that to go up now that we are in winter. We pay £98 a month on dd to octopus energy- way cheaper than the previous rip off merchants we were with, npower!
Yes yours seems high

£65 electric
£50 gas

Heating on every day and I have a bath most days

£47 for electric only in large 1 bed flat

£60 a month for both gas and electricity. Three bed terraced house. Very well insulated with new double glazing. I am out 10 hours a day at work 5 days a week and live alone.

£190 per month for
both.

£77 dual fuel in 4 bed detached (new build) house.

I wfh too

Blimey this has been an eye opener. It's me and DH in a 3-bed townhouse (new build so probably helps) and we pay £40 a month for gas and electric! £28 ish for electric and £12 ish for gas. We're a bit stingy with the heating but nothing extreme. We both WFH full time too. We're with BG and have a smart metre installed with them.

£20 on top of that for water.

£65 per month for gas and electric - four bed end terrace, over 100 years old. I live alone and wfh, and have the heating set to 18 all day, and 19 in the evenings. If I'm cold I'll turn it up, but mostly I just put more clothes on - I love my thermals!

£42 a month . Small 2 bed house and me and 2 children. I expect it may go up a bit as working at home and heating going on more.

Forgot to say £169 a month six bed semi wfh.

£160!

£70 - £80 a month. 2 adults 2 young kids. Tumble dryer, dishwasher, heating on a lot, bath several times a week and showers. Been home since March. 3 bed semi detached house.

You need to look at your usage in kwh rather than the amount everyone pays monthly as the monthly amount stays the same so you pay extra in the summer to cover the extra usage in the winter. I will show you what I used last month :

About £60 a month for 3 bed bungalow with large family room extension. We have oil fires central heating and water though, I'm not sure how much that works out per month!

Is there anyone in a larger house who can share how much they pay? My Direct Debit is over £200 for a 5 bed, 3 reception, large kitchen. I've always thought it to be exorbitant and seems even more so now. I'm not sure who to talk to to find out why it is so high. Or maybe I just need to change supplier.

£90 per month, family of five, 4 bedroom semi
