. . . to ask how much you pay for your electric

[QuadrupleL]

I have just put my meter readings in today and they are OFF THE SCALE!!!!! For some reason I have used more than 25% more this month than last month.

So, I wondered if anyone would mind telling me what they pay as a comparison.

We only have electric (no gas in the village), 4 bed semi, 1930's, shit double glazing, SAHD and 2yr old. This month we used 1288 units which is £160!!!! But last month £112 and month before £122.

£10 a week elec on a meter. Goes up to £15 a week in summer because we use the immersion more. Wish we had the kind of heating system that could heat the water only.

500l of oil between October and mid April. Price varies.

Family of 4, 4 bed terrace. I am a SAHM so here pretty much all the time.

Think we have it pretty good. Some of these are just mad.

happyhearts- £235 a month on fuel!

I have a 5 bed house and I pay £104 a month total. I work from home so power is on all day.

Oh and I don't heat the 2 spare bedrooms. Ours is a minimum of 18degrees in the daytime. House gets cold

There are 2 of us in a 2 bed terrace house. Every time I go upstairs my daughter has left 5 lights on, so I think we cut back a bit when I finally make her realise that electricity is ex. I pay electric and gas quarterly and spend about 400 a year on electric and 500 a year on gas. I switch suppliers often and

Woops, I hit the send button mid sentence. I meant to say electricity is expensive (not ex).

And, I switch suppliers often and always ask for the best deals.

£60/month in electric keypad meter. £40/month in oil.
4 bed semi new build.

Sorry, me and two DC. Work part time so some full days at home and some full days out of home.

3 bed semi and I pay £70 for gas and electricity.

£150 a month dd for electric, 3 bed semi, I think for us it's the electric shower and tumble drier that runs up our bills.

I think we are about £40 in gas.

Moneysavingexpert has an energy club, they show you the tariffs that uswitch etc won't show you.

I got my suppliers off there and found it was cheaper to use seperate suppliers instead of being dual fuel.

I know pearly! I was stuck on a British Gas fixed tariff until March 2016, I knew it was a bit more expensive but Wow!! I can pay my credit card balance off quicker now!

So pleased for you ooblimey. Hope you are on a 0% interest rate on your credit card though.

I pay the electric quarterly, it's normally £200ish but the Dec-Feb bill hits £350. That's for a 3 bed detached, lighting, cooking, tumble drier. The heating and hot water are oil fired which takes about 500 litres a year. God knows why the winter bill is so much more, I don't think I tumble any more...

Definitely recommend having a look on uswitch. We are with First Utility now and pay £75 pcm for both gas and electric on a 4 bed detached house. Well worth checking out and switching.

I tumble dry most of the year through the winter, central heating, electric shower etc

It's "electricITY" people.

"Electric" is an adjective.

Shush jessie, no-one cares

OMG pay £175 p/m for gas and electric for a two bed flat! Thought this was normal but clearly being completely ripped off. Must sort asap. Thanks everyone for sharing I would have continued paying in ignorance

Cambidge dictionary

electric
noun [U] /iˈlek.trɪk/

About £120 a month for a 3 bed mid terrace

My direct debit for dual fuel with the co-op is £85. I spoke to a woman when I seitched who said I use less than average on gas, which is because we are out during the week so the heating isnt on, and more than average for electricity, which will be all the washing and drying.

600 quid a month...but I don't live in the uk. Unhelpful for you OP. Can't believe how much we pay compared to the uk now!

£85 for gas and electricity

It was £100 a month gas and electricity combined for upstairs 3 bed flat, but now down to £60 a month for both.
