How much did you pay for your March energy bill?

[Mamabear04]

I paid £468.30!!!!! WTAF!!!!

This was my February usage.

We used to pay £69 for electric each month but since January are paying £0 as we are £240 in credit. On a great fixed tariff until October.
We have oil central heating. Put £400 in last month which will see us four or five months and just waiting on the £200 government contribution back for that.
Four bed semi.

Maximum of £45 over the course of the year. That's a price I'm willing to pay to stop the energy company from taking what they think they need to take from my account.

£450 Electric, no gas.

A variable direct debit changes month by month - unless you're not giving meter readings, it reflects the exact amount you've been billed for that period.

I pay by variable direct debit based on meter readings. So I pay for exactly what I’ve used that month, via direct debit.

£107 minus the £66 government voucher.

£460 jan
£375 Feb

Gas and electric.

4-bed newly renovated semi

February bill was £68.00 after the Gov. Help amount taken off. Just the two of us in 2 bed semi built in the 70s.
I've use the dryer a couple of times and don't stint on the gas fire when we're cold. We don't put CH on at all but haven't bothered for a few years really.

£178.14 (that includes the government £64 pounds) for a 3 bed house, heating on 5.30 to 9pm at 22degrees (gas). It's the bill for Feb btw.

£95 with the govt money taken off. 2 bed house with a a wood burner.

I'd love a bill of £400odd for 5 months! My DD is £348, usage in Dec was £425, Jan £436, Feb £315. Still in credit by about £300 though which I am pretty happy with for this point in the year.

Mine was 400.0 kWh at 34.359p per kWh for electric

1,359.2 kWh at 10.008p per kWh for gas

We only have the heating on twice a day to 18/19 tops for an hour.

I obviously have a massive energy sucker somewhere......

TBF, this was mid Jan-mid Feb where I was home all day every day as was DH working.

The difference is honestly staggering. We are pretty consistent as a household so some massive gaps I just cant explain. We send our meter readings monthly.

Our dec, Jan was £500 each. Feb a bit lower. It's disgusting. Can't believe they can continue to get away with it.

Have you got a smart meter?

I only have electric and British Gas Sent us energy vouchers to use so haven't been spending anything. That will end now as the voucher scheme ends this month,

Yes, its already at a couple of pounds when we get up in the morning!

£335 gas and electricity for the month of Feb.

Our actual use is around £120 a month but we haven't had the heating on.

Crkey @Seasonofthewitch83 . Switching everything off and looking at how your use changes as you switch it all back on again should help identify whatever is vampiring your electric - i know I'm a low user and on my own but my feb electric usage was a tenth of yours.

Any chance of something being accidentally left on? There was a recent thread where someone couldn't work out where it was all going until they realised a garden room immersion heater and towel rail had been accidentally not switched off for months...

Feb
Gas £130
Elec £54

244 duel fuel DD with edf... 2 bed fairly large mid terrace....

We switched everything off apart from the boiler when we went away for a few days and tbh there was hardly any difference!

How do you find out if your boiler is using gas or electric to heat? (Sorry for the dense question)

Good question - gas boilers often have a pilot light (although mine doesn't).

I know my EPC certificate states my heating is mains gas and hot water, with no secondary heating.

Alternatively I guess googling the make and model of the boiler itself should tell you.
