I pay my gas and electricity by direct debit, and the gas bill has just gone up to £86 per month.
That seems nuts. I have a new build. We have underfloor heating with a thermostat that is accurate. During the day the temperature was usually at 18 degrees, occasionally I "splashed out" to 19-20 for a few hours. Overnight I ran it at 16 degrees, but brought it up to 18 for a month or two when the children kept waking up. I know it's been a long cold winter, but really? Am I being unrealistic?
I am aware that people run their thermostats lower, and will do if that's the only option, but speaking to peers at the time my house was cooler than many others.

Any one else's gas bill gone up, and any tips to get it down?
