What percentage has your gas and electric gone up by?

[ImFuminHun]

Outs has increased by nearly 150% overnight.

We just took this as life right now. It's happening to everyone.

However a friend of mine was paying £140 a month then like us, it went up over night but to nearly £700 😱

They have managed, after lots of calls to get it reduced to £150.

I suspect they were paying too much in the first place as there's only two of them.

But it made me think, how much is an acceptable increase at this point?

43% we've now went with the only fixed rate our supplier could offer and also taken down their suggested DD payments

Oddly, ours has gone DOWN, one by more than half. It’s under £100 for both. Not a small house either.

We were paying £115 fixed rate. They wanted us to pay £279 for fixed rate. Now paying £150 for variable.

My monthly dd has been increased from £80 to £96 a month. Only problem is that it was set at £80 about 2 years ago, when prices were less than half what they are now. I suspect I should be paying about £200 a month, but due to previous supplier going bust, EDF taking over the account, and them taking 6 months to generate my first bill, and reviewing the dd two weeks before said bill, it means they've ballsed up calculating what I should be paying. I'm keeping quiet for now, but I know that come autumn I could be paying £400+ a month due to the next price cap increase and the arrears.

My direct debit has gone up 198%, but the cost of my actual usage has ‘only’ gone up 40% compared to this time year, so I’m really not sure why they have set my DD so high.

I’m on a variable tariff atm, if I was to go fixed my DD would be even higher.

48%

thankfully our flat keeps warm with the heating on low

positive my water bill has gone down by about 40%

We got an email today from Octopus suggesting ours needed to increase- £90 to £190 a month (so about a 110% increase).

We are a two people household. We do work from home 90% of the time still, so using more energy than when we were at the office. Still cheaper than commuting daily to work given the price of fuel.

From 98 to 243. So about 150% in a year. 4 bed detached.

Ours goes up in October 2023. Just holding out and overpaying until then.

Mine has just gone up by 133%. I managed to fix in July 2021 on a good rate so can't complain too much but with the October increase looming, I'm feeling a little anxious.

It’s tripled. Tripled! Lord alone knows if it will go up again (I assume it will) but it won’t go down will it?

im assuming that’s electricity OR gas? Ours is just shy of £350 for a wee flat (gas and electric).

I live out in the sticks and do not have access to natural gas. My home is heated by oil. My electric has doubled and a year ago I ordered 900 litres of oil. It cost me £356.00. Just fill up again with 750 litres and cost £846.

Everything is going through the roof price wise. I laughed out loud this morning reading a well known online rag. The article I was reading show the before and after prices of popular foods. I do not know where they shop as the prices they were show had gone up by 7% on average. For me most of the prices have gone up by over 100% over the past few months. I do not know how people are supposed to survive.

We pay monthly, and ours has gone up by 50%😰😱

I'm still paying the same £75 pm. But that used to be enough to build up a nice credit so in winter I could put the heating on whenever I liked. Now I'm just keeping even, building no credit and dipping into what credit I did have, I'm not looking forward to winter :-(

88% increase for both but our ‘fixed’ deal ended in December and they didn’t up our DD so we have been underpaying for 6 months. So we will be paying off the debit and the increase. I should have increased the DD earlier but didn’t…

Our electricity has gone up form £35 to £58pm.

Can't remember gas, but it has also almost doubled.

Mine was £90pm and now it's £196pm. We've just had a new energy efficient boiler fitted and new double glazing last year so don't understand it, as my usage has dropped a considerable amount too 🤷‍♀️

Comparing like for like. Last summer, May, June, July our bills were always around the £90 mark per month, but we used the tumble dryer on rainy and cooler days, I used to run the dishwasher on intensive, hot programs on washing machine, hot water on 6 hours a day.
Our bills are now £127 per month, an increase of 40%, but we no longer do any of the above with the gay abandon of previous years. We have become very, very tight with our utilities.

207% !!
I’m going to adjust our payments down as there’s a healthy buffer in the account now for winter.

Around 70% increase (89 to 150)

Ours has.gone up 120% in April, from £140 to £310. I'm happy with this as we were on a remarkably cheap rate before and got a 2 year fix in April. We are paying quite a bit right now compared to the SVR BUT come October, our unit prices of 39p/kWh electricity and 11p/kWh gas won't look so bad - and I massively (over?) value certainty.

They wanted to put it up 71% but I stopped it at 30%

I was paying £77pcm and I upped my payments to £177 but my usage (now I have tried hard to use less - lowered the heating earlier in the year, use the oven less, etc) is actually £124pcm but I'm leaving my payments at £177 as it's going up anyway.

We fixed til 2024 when we moved house last August luckily - was still higher than our previous tariff but not close to what it would be now.

Some of these figures are obscene - I really feel for anyone on a prepaid meter
