To be nosey and ask about your bills...

Away to move into a 3 bed detached house (built 2014 so newish)

Just wondering what people in similar houses are for their gas/leccy?

We have a 4 bed built in the mid 80s. Double glazing, decent boiler. £92 a month for dual fuel.

4 bed detached here and we pay £70 a month for electric and have oil heating which costs about £50 a month

19lottie82- that's good! We have 3 bedroom semi and pay £110 for both but that's on a cheap 1 year fix and will soon go up to £130. Must shop around!

We’ve got a 3 bed semi, it’s £84 a month for gas / electric

We have same size house. Built in the 50s I believe and we look at about £90 a month for both

Falcon I always shop around at the end of my fix. We use Eon at the moment.

3 bed corner town house about 12 years old. £75 a month for both.
It’s very well insulated

Three bed semi, relatively new build over three floors. We pay £110 a month, elec is £60 and gas £50. They've said we're overpaying so may get our monthly dd reduced.

Forgot to add that’s with Eon

3 bed 1920's terrace and we spend £70 a month for gas and electric together.
Maybe my dp is right when he says I'm miserly with the heating! We're with EDF on a price fix

As I said we are £92 a month but there’s 4 of us inc 2 teenagers and we don’t think twice about putting the heating on if it gets a bit chilly.

5 bed detached. Open plan downstairs. £124, 12 month deal with Ovo. 6 of us live here on the coast, up North. Cold even on a sunny day!

3 bed semi detached new build 2014 as well. We pay DD £73 a month for gas and electricity.

10 year old 3 bed detached well insulated heat on in the day as always home

£78 month for both with ovo who are fantastic, they have a great reputation here on mumsnet

About £85 a month - £40 gas and £45 leccie. (3 bed semi.) Early 80's... New-ish heating system though (Put in, in 2011.)

My pal lives in a 1990 three-bed semi too, with the original boiler and heating system.... (So it's nearly 30 years old.....) Her gas bill is more than double mine.... £90 a month. Just for the gas!

If yours is newbuild though. Your bills should be low-ish, coz of new heating system/new boiler/good insulation (hopefully...)

We are in a 5 year old 3 bed terrace and I think we pay around £70 a month combined. We used so little last year, we were owed money as we needed so little heating.

Large two bedroomed converted flat (house built in 1737, sash windows, no double glazing). Gas/electricity £50 a month average but I like it being cold so don't use much heating.

Thanks guys! Just trying to get a rough idea, sounds like I'll be under the £100 mark anyway which is good news for budgeting!

A flat in a converted building, built in the 1700's?

That sounds fucking lovely!

1920's 3 bed terrace. We pay £135 a month. I got that price by switching to bulb. British Gas wanted over £200 a month 😱. I'm getting the boiler/radiators investigated to see if there is a fault as the house is still cold despite the bill being big. We have loft insulation.

Yes OP, should be under £100 a month for the 2 combined. Especially in a new house.

@kimanda

Thank you! I love it but there are downsides .... the roof probably needs replacing etc. I can understand why people choose modern builds in some ways.

We're in a 4/5 bed 1930s semi, and we pay £65 for electric and £50 for gas each month. We're only heat the house to 16 degrees though, and only for a few hours a day - temps have regularly dropped to 12 degrees throughout the day. If we had the house heated to a nice constant 20 degrees throughout the day, I reckon our gas usage would at least double. We have a new condensing boiler, but our insulation won't be as good as a new build. I think under £100 all in is a tight budget for a 3 bed detached- but doable as long as you keep an eye on your usage.

3 bed semi built in the 80s, I pay £64 a month dual fuel- £25 electric and £39 for gas with eon
