Gas and electricity

[TheOpalFox]

How much is your gas and electric at the min ?
Mine is so high and we aren’t in main winter yet
But I refuse to sit in the cold 😰😰

About £60 to £65 a month but rises to £80-£90 when central heating on.

Dual power bill just came in, this month £148.

was 148 a month but just reduced to 112 as I'm in credit.

Monthly payments are meaningless, you need to know the unit price and daily standing charge.

If you google your EPC then you can see what is expected for heating your property.

We pay £585 pcm at the moment. Ffs.

Wow why this high :(

We can’t get gas 🙄 so our electric gets quite high, was surprised that most recent month was only £126 but it has been quite a warm autumn… hope it’s a warm winter as well!
we pay by variable DD, so literally paying monthly for what we use. Can’t bear leaving loads of £ in electric co’s bank acc’s during summer, especially as UK has highest costing electricity, for why??

We pay £385
old house ,5 bedroom,wood floors

£140 4 bed detached 2 little kids

It's better to talk usage imho. We use about 115kwh a month. Standing charge is bloody ridiculous. About 40 quid and change from that I think 17 is the bloody standing charge!
Gas is still around £25 though now.

We have a big, old house. But I still can’t fathom it being SO blinking high. In my mind that kind of cost makes me think we’d have to have a permanently heated swimming pool or something for that price to be justified, but not a swimming pool in sight (sadly).

I'm in Ireland and it's been through the roof the last few years ..we get a electricity and gas bill every 7-8 weeks the electricity is around €315 through spring and summer (every 7-8 weeks!!) and around 430€ every bill through winter months
The gas is cheaper but through the winter months again every 7-8 weeks it's about 250/300€ ..cheaper through spring and summer
Absolutely crazy

Mine did exactly the same. Scottish power?

I pay £122 for gas and electric. Still in credit which is a miracle!!! Two bed semi detached.

Mid terrace 2 bed. Just me though. £46 last month for both combined.

It'll vary tremendously as houses are different types, sizes, locations.

To get a real idea tell us the above info and perhaps those with the same type can answer.

Otherwise its a bit like comparing apples with oranges. Pointless.

It means nothing as there are people who refuse to have heating on until it gets to 18 degrees or until the middle of November then there are people who's heating comes on at 22 degrees from 5.30am till 8pm.

We pay £150 a month but at the minute our actual bill for gas and electricity is less than £100 so we're in credit by £300.

I paid £25 per month in 2018, it's now £75 per month.

The war in Ukraine and money being set aside for Net Zero have been the two biggest drivers for the surge in prices.

3 bed detached here, 2 adults WFH, with heating on all day as needed to keep the house above 18 degrees c. We pay by variable direct debit (so exactly what we've used each month) and this month's gas & electric was £94. From April until September it was between 50 - 75 a month.
