how much is your dual fuel bill?

[Hattie11]

We pay 76 a mth at the moment although I'm frightened once heating kicks in they'll put it up as always happened with previous company.

We are in 3 bed semi with gas central heating. I'm at home most days with 2 youngest. Currently don't have loft insulation, but just installing it hoping it will make a big difference.

So....does our bill seem high or low compared to yours?

That's pretty low I think. We are paying £130 a month for both.

£150/month for a 4 bed detached.
House is only 10yrs old and is supposedly well insulated

We pay 200 ish for both - both out all day - ridiculous and crippling.

£130 per month for both but only started during the summer so difficult to predict what bills will be like over the winter.

Well I have just been completely stung. Was blissfully paying £67 pcm for duel fuel on 3 bed detached. Was then told I was £450 in arrears . Have paid off arrears, and now monthly payment has gone up to £151.

I will get £100 cashback in January though.

£200. Ridiculous amount.

Yours seems low. We pay £140 a month for 4 bed detached.

We get £100 direct debit or dual fuel discount (I forget which it is) and we're usually neither in debit or credit. So it's about right.

3 bed semi with loft insulation (not cavity wall though as we don't have cavities)

dual fuel 100 per month with GCH

no tumble drier, no dishwasher

with a load of washing every day and possibly 2-3 showers every day

Oh that's good although. I too changed at beginning of year and worry about accuracy or monthly payments. But we have become much more conscious of switching things off, heating hasn't been on yet.

I pay £97 per month for a 3 bed semi. Very rarely use the tumble drier and don't have a dishwasher. Do have cavity wall insulation as the council put it in for free.

We pay £53 a month but I am tight frugal so I only heat rooms I am in eg lounge and hallway during the day.

That was based on a summer reading which is why it so low, I give regular meter reading online so I can pay arrears as needed and not have a heart attack at the end of the quarter.

Dont forget to put two jackets on your hot water tank and radiator reflector panels behind the rads, I only did mine Saturday and we can tell the difference already.

Dishwashers actually use less power and water than washing up.

My bill dropped when we got the dw.

About £85 a month, four bed detached new build (so insulated to the hilt).

£110 a month. Tiddly 3 bed terrace.

Heating on nearly all the time (24/7 in winter) to dry clothes and I feel the cold, dishwasher, tumble dryer, cooking at weekends, approx 3 laundry loads a day.

We only have electric and pay £74 a month. This is for a small 2 bed apartment - no tumble dryer and we both work (so out all day). No central heating - just one storage heater. Your bill seems low to me!

Have you all got your boilers turned up to maximum? apparently it's more fuel effiecent.

Can't you send regular readings so your bills are more accurate?

Mine is £70 a month.

We're using about £84 a month electric but that is our heating (air source heating) and I use a tumble drier a lot and have the heating on as required. Ours is a 4 bed semi new build.

Live in a mainly timber house with mega insulation, no tumble dryer or dishwasher as I do not need them. Electricity is about £ 50 a quarter since I only have an electric hob and hopefully that will be replaced soon, everything else runs of a wind turbine. Hot water and background heat are via solar tubes in summer plus a wood burner in the winter which cost practically nothing to run (£40 this year).

£72 which when we were paying that to Npower left us with a credit which I have moved across to Scotter Power. We have a 3 bed terrace and I am at home all day,

Bureni I love the sound of your house. :)

£165 per month for 5 bed house. We don't heat all day, I just have a separate heater in my home office during the cold months as kids are at school and DH is at work.

bureni, very envious. We have lived in a Victorian semi for 5 years. No central heating, just 2 horrid storage heaters upstairs and 2 ancient gas fires downstairs. No tumble or dishwasher. £73 a month but will go up for winter. Mostly electric. Hate living in a drafty, uninsulated house, such a waste of energy and money. We rent, so can't change anything.

We pay £105 a month for a 4 bedroom detached. I feel the cold easily and am not stingy with the heating.

£200 a month. And that's just having the central heating on from about 6pm - 10pm. We're out all day. Costs a damn fortune.

£162, big old, cold house.
