To ask how much your energy bills a month

[Lockeddownagain]

What are people spending on energy bills a month I am really just looking for perspective

DD is £240, as they deduct the £66 a month. Last months bill for 24.11-24.12 was £430! That obviously covered the cold spell, but I was away the last 3 days of that and heating lowered. This is for a 5 bed detached, but I’m moving soon to a 2bed flat, which I’m hoping will be much cheaper to heat

Dd £13 through winter (£80-£67). December bill £110. Two people, three bed semi.

£150ish usage at the moment, DD is £80 due to the govt discount. Usage about £70 this time of year.

That's 3 of us in a 4 bed terrace at about 1000sqft. 1 WFH.

£182 2 bed mid terrace

Electricity dd is £200.
We had an emergency oil delivery (no gas) at £455 for 500litres. This will last maybe two months as we are having it on at 18 all day as dh wfh.
5 bed old draughty house.

Also not Uk. Central Europe.
We pay €580 per month for our average use . That’s direct debit for electric and district heating. We probably use more like €1000 in winter and €100 in summer. In June we either pay the extra or get a rebate if we used less over the year.

Our price hasn’t changed at all. Only oil had increased but we have moved off of it, and Electricity has increased but only for new customers. Most people have ‘lifetime’ fixed rates if they stay at same property. So we moved to this house in 2016 and it’s the same price as then. Gas is only available in the main city. People heat via oil, wood burners, solar, photovoltaic, heat pumps, district heating or a mixture.

So heating and electric has always been more expensive here. We generally pay low per kw, but have high standing charges. I think our electric is around €40 a month in standing charges and district heating is about €60. So we would have €100 min per month even if we didn’t turn anything on. It’s also minus temperatures for about 4-5 months a year, so you can’t really not have heating

I'm paying £100pm direct debit. Using more than that in winter but much less in summer so it averages out. 2 bedroom flat, 2 people, no gas so it's all electric.

Out heating alone for Dec was £330, and that's in a 1920s 5 bed place. Even with that, the house wasn't about 18/19C. Downside to old properties with high ceilings and voids under wooden floors though... so far this month we nearly at the £200 mark...

We are also high ceiling and floorboards and this is the warmest house we've ever lived in!

Gets warm almost instantly when heating put on.

How many people are still on a fixed rate? When will this end so that everyone is on the government cap?
3 bed semi 1930s, gov cap £330

Friend who lives a few doors down is on a fixed rate until July. Hers was £88.

£122 a month for gas and electric. 3 bed house

I'm on a high fix, it saves me a tenner a month at the moment, mostly on the electric standing charge. Was about breaking even through the summer with higher unit rates than the cap. It runs out in March.

Our December bill was £388. Januarys is roughly £408. Large cold 5 bed house with 10 people in it. Heating never set higher than 16 degrees but is on from 5:30 am to 8 pm

4 bed semi, 5 of us at home. I WFH but no heating in the day except my lovely electric blanket. Bill for last month was £187 for gas and electric. We are quite careful and have no tumble drier, have heating at 17, and have an airfryer.

£130. Fixed until May.
3 bed. Heating on 24/7. £600 in credit, meter readings updated every month.

430quid usage, 1930's 3 bed detached. This time last year we were paying an average of 100quid. Scandalous.

We have underfloor hearing in kitchen consistently set to 20. Rest of house is set to come on for 1.5hours in morning and 3hours in evening, to bring house to 18. Rest of time it sits at 14/15.

5 bed house
£700 last month

Will be the same or more this month

currently paying £250/month but British Gas only generate a bill every 6 months so I won't know until February if it's been enough to cover. I have electric smart meter so I'm keeping an eye on that but they have refused is a gas smart meter so I'm doing basic monthly calculations and hoping I've got them right!

I'll be £1600 in credit by mid Feb but that has to cover from mid August

3 bed detached Victorian style high ceilings etc so difficult to heat efficiently, also have quite an old boiler.

£550-600 per month for both over these past few months.

Fair to say we are looking forward to some respite in summer.

I think we have the same problem re type of house

£520 for both gas and electric last month. We had been paying £220 fixed up until then. 😞

4 bed with 4 people. 2 of us wfh half the week and we charge 2 cars. We have taken steps this month to be a bit cleverer with it. Using our log burner to heat one room when wfh. Only charging 1 car. Blankets and hot water bottles in the evening.

But we've already noticed damp and Luke appearing in one room. House was built in 1850 and insulation was not a thing.

£13 per month after government top up is added.

Last monthly bill for mid December/to mid January was £108 total for gas and electricity

£142 in credit by end of month was £450 in October but withdrew £300

On fixed deal until October 2023

We live in a brand new build eco home, electric only and it is £176.

December bill was £100 leccy and £270 gas without deductions.

3 bed house with three people. Most at home for 2-3 weeks over Christmas so CH was on more than normal.

hoping this months will be less!

I’m nosey /interested too so happily following this thread!
