To ask how much you pay for gas and electricity?

[Animalsoffarthingwood]

I can't believe I've just had a £500 bill for the last quarter.

We've moved house recently and have bought a tumble dryer we haven't exactly been careful but still surprised.

How much do you pay and how many bedrooms/appliances do you have?

4 bed house. Old house so difficult to heat, SAHP so I’m cold weather heating on all day. Lots and lots of washing, drying and dishwasher. £240 a month

That’s for gas and electric btw

Isn't that about £40 a week? Not much for both, tbh. Especially if your usage is high.
3 bed flat, £28pw direct debits but usually in credit in the summer (gets used in the winter though). 1 adult DC and 3 younger dc. Only have a washing machine.

3 bed terrace, anything from £90 (peak summer) to £180 (mid-winter) for both.

£92 a month, 3 bed terraced house. Heating on all the time although we don’t have a tumble drier.

a month

that is approx £38 a week.
I pay about £30 a week to heat two rooms, no tumble drier.
No gas, just electric.

4 bed house.
2 of us...heating on 6-9 am and 4.30-10pm.
Showers everyday...washer on about 8 times a week. Dishwasher on daily.
Yearly we pay just under £1000

£153 a month - 3 bedroom old detached house, which is drafty and hard to heat. There's only 2 of us.

Approx £60 a month for both. Two bed terrace but we don't have a tumble drier, plus we use the wood burner for heat in winter as opposed to the heating.

Seems like a big variation in what people are paying.

My mil and fil reckon they pay £80 a month for a similar size house and they have much the same appliances.

It's our electricity bill that seems to have gone through the roof. The actual gas usage is quite low considering we've had ye heating on loads.

3 bedroom Victorian house with very little insulation and we pay £85 pm for Gas and Electricity. I think it’s worth going on a fixed DD plan as you won’t get the huge quarterly bill over winter when the heating is on and you cook and have lights on more. I have heating on roughly 50-60% of the day in winter (I have it off totally May-October usually) and I use my washer and tumble dryer every day. I do turn lights off a lot. We have a fairly normal amount of devices.

4 bed 3 storey, washing machine and tumble drier used most days. Heating set at 20c all the time, averages around £70 a month.

£78 a month for gas and electricity from ovo

3 bed detached with heating on in the day and a tumble dryer used for all washing (4 loads a week)

Last year we were paying £99 a month, small 3 bed detached. Heating on quite a lot, washing machine about 3 times a week.

Then we got a new boiler, and the supplier has cut our direct debit to £85 a month, as we are using less. Yours sounds very high, is your boiler very old?

Too bloody much, around £130 a month

We are looking to switch utilities soon as British Gas are about to increase their prices ... again.

£100 a month gas and electricity- 3 bed victorian terrace (ie draughty).
Heating is on pretty much constantly at 20c october- May.
Washing machine on daily but drier only used 1/2 times a week.

£30 for electricity (no tumble dryer though) we have oil heating and have used about £400 in oil since Nov (when we moved in), oil consumption will reduce in the summer months as then it will only be used for hot water. Three bedroomed cottage, poor insulation, no double glazing but big thick walls.

£30 a month for electricity that should read

I do pay by direct debit but haven't been paying enough.

I've been paying £120 a month, the debit is now £500 so I guess the bill is even more.

According to the meter we've used around 2500kwh of electricity since January.

I can switch to a cheaper supplier but trouble is I've just arranged to have a smart meter fitted, plus I now owe the supplier £500

£248 per month, gas and electric.

2 bed house, 2 adults, baby and a dog and we pay £50 a month for both gas and electric (always end up in credit at end of summer)

£80 a month (gas + electricity ) 3 bed house
New build
2 kids 9 month old and 3 year old
Washing machine + dryer used 2 a day + dishwasher used daily
Heating 6 hours a day In winter

Tons as on pre-payment meters.
