to ask how much you pay for gas and electricity a month?

[Periodohperiodwhereartthou]

4 adults living here plus one DD, only myself and DH pay anything towards rent/bills.

I’ve just had a bill just our gas usage alone which is close to 800 pound. That’s just from Jan this year to now! I am having a mini heart attack and absolutely dreading the electricity also! Our usual quarterly bills were around £700 for both (and even then I thought that was steep!)

Is this normal or should I be worried about a leak?!?

Should probably include that we live in a 4 bedroom house, that’s probably very relevant! Although we don’t use the heating very often we do have 4 adults showering once or twice a day.

Ours is £150 per month. 4 bed house, family of 6.

@BlessedBeTheFruitCake is that for both? Thanks for answering!

Ours is £135 a month in total. 4 bed detached house, 2 adults 1 toddler

I live in a 2 bed and my last quarterly bill for both was £220 that a read bill not estimated. That's with baths every day for me and the kids but we do share the water. I'm not stingy with the heating either.

Ah sorry, yes it is for both.

£245 a month for both 😱

£118 a month. 5 bed house. Two adults and a teen DH at home working all day but heating off 7am to 3pm.

4 bed, heating on all the time as I wfh permanently, obscene amount of showers (teens) and bout 130 per month

For both

We pay £166 a month for both. 2 adults and one child. It pains me. Plus the £166 a month is to make up for the winter months when it's way more! I couldn't live for that quarterly bill to come through so pay a monthly direct debit towards it.

4 bed detached, rural. 80s build with new loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and new glazing. Coldest draftiest house known to man.

Electric is £150 a month
Bulk LPG is £180 a month

And we also use a woodburner, which costs around £300 a year in wood.

Our thermostat reads 19.6c tonight, and the heating has been on since around 3pm........... if it wasn't pissing down, I'd go outside for some wood!

Mine was £120 a month pre Covid but since I’ve been WFH from last March to date, and the DC have been in all day (charging 4 laptops daily etc) it’s just been revised at £185 a month 😣

£175 a month
4 bed house
2 adults and 2 teens
I hate being cold

£68 a month gas and electric combined, large 2 bed the size of a 3 bed, 2 adults and 2 kids. We aren’t particularly careful with the usage of anything heating, hot water etc.

Although your bill is crazy high!!! I just check my quarterly bill and it was £405.60 for both and that's from December until March.

I should say we are 4 bed detached with 2 adults (who shower daily) and 2 DC (who would shower once a week if they could get away with it...)

£200 per month for both. 4 bed/4 story Victorian terrace. 7 of us - 3 adults, 2 teens, 1primary age and one baby

£123 a month for both, 3 adults, in a 3 bed 1930s semi. What kind of house are you living in where both bills are that high?. I’d get your meters checked.

£110 a month for 12 months a year for a three bed, three storey semi new build. Heating in a lot and dh working from home and I've been furloughed a lot.

5 bedrooms, 6 people and we pay £225 duel fuel every month.

2 bed semi, 2 people. £100pm ish for both. I never scrimp on heating and in the winter it's on for about 7 hours a day.

Two-bed terrace and two adults, but I work part-time (partially rom home) so I'm around a lot during the day.

We pay around £60 a month for both. British Gas.

4 bed semi here. 5 of us, although 3 are kids but we do shower/bathe every day. We have a smart thermostat that I do think makes a difference. We pay around £260 a quarter.

Electricity is a lot less. Around 160 a quarter. And we are currently wfh so laptops, TVs, cooking all in house.
