How much has your gas and electric cost you today?

[Meltinthemiddle]

Mine is nearly £15 😱

My electric is about £5-6 per day, no gas.

Well, my darling dickhead partner left the heating on all fecking day from 5am this morning. So over £10 in gas. Given our normal cost seems to be £6ish at the moment, and the heating was on for 12 hours vs the usual 4-5, it could have been higher I guess!
Electric fairly low, £1.92. I've done a wash load and tumble dry load, but been out all day at work. Normal day is £3-4 unless it is a day where there are 2 wash loads and we use the oven. Then it can be over £5.

£12 today, I try to limit it to £10 but it was too cold.

£2.00 electric
£6.00 gas

I have been in all day

We're on £7.50 combined but I've done two 60' washes, sick kid at home so hearing non most of the day and a couple of slimline dishwasher loads

Up to half six this evening: 95p electric, £6.49 gas (excl. standing charges).

Just had my monthly bill and it's £229 so about £7.50 a day. For this month last year it was £124 but they tell me my usage has dropped.
Bulb have just dropped my DD again and I am still £350 in credit after this bill is paid.
I have not concisely done anything different with usage and have the heating on and use the tumble dryer whenever I need to, we are fairly well insulated and have a south facing conservatory which really makes a difference.

I unplugged that f..r and toss it in a drawer now, it was stressing me out kept looking at it all the time

My frickin in home display is on the blink. But the app says £4-7 a day gas at the mo and no price given for electric. Driving me nuts that they can't just fix the display. So the last 3 days we've had - a day with only me at home using a plug in oil heater, a day with dh at home who whacks the heating on, and a day tomorrow where no one will be home. Will try to work things out myself. The offset is the commute costs.

£7 electric and £13 gas.

I have a dd with a medical condition that is triggered by being cold a lot of the time, and one who had a serious condition a few years back, but needs her chest kept warm at all times or she really goes downhill too, and I'm going through some treatments at the minute that mean I'm cold a lot, daily baths were helping a lot at one point but they are not doable at all now.

No idea how I'll afford winter when the heating needs to be on even more.

Nearly £30 . We have an elderly family member living with us and try to keep their room at 20 degrees when they're up. I honestly don't know why it's so expensive. The thermostat is in their room, it's a modern house, pretty well insulated. I would love to have a heating expert come in to check the boiler/radiators etc.

We can't afford £30 per day on gas and electric - going to look into a heated throw, but worried about them navigating it as a trip hazard.

loop.homes/ @Reluctantadult should help

I don't have a smart meter, but £12 in the last 4 days, so £3 a day. I'm on a fix, it would be £13.50 on the cap.

I think it looks like about 3.80 electricity and 6.00 gas. It is scary when you see it each day like that

That really seems incredibly high.

If you got thermostatic valves on the other radiators the relative could have a higher temp in their room, but it would achieve the same effect if you just manually turn the other radiators off. Get a second thermometer for somewhere else in the house to check you don't let the rest get too cold.

You can get a heated gilet rather than blanket, or small heated pad, or a microwaveable pad that will have no wires.

We have been out all day but £12 today because I put the heating up to 19 and had a bath so put on hot water. 😭

£18. And I only had the central heating on first thing for two hours and this evening from 4-8. I had a bath. I've been working from home but without heating on and has a heated throw in my knees for some of it. Not great. 😞 it's an old 5 bed semi house but is insulated and does have double glazing Not much more I can do to keep the heat in.

carefulcalculator, I know, it seems ridiculously high. I turned the heating off about an hour and a half ago and their room's already dropped below 17 degrees. We have 2 or 3 other radiators on low around the house, and the radiators in Drelative's room on high. I'm just so fed up of worrying about it and reading experts on line to try and find out what we're doing wrong.

Gas £12 today. Took meter reading and calculated it. Had heating on 6-8am and 5.30-8.30pm and water 5.45-7am and 7-8pm. 😳

It will be about £12 by end of the day. The heating went on earlier today as it was too cold. Sitting at my desk I just can’t get too cold and it can’t be good for you. My bill each day is normally around £8 a day. Just so much money.

I'm sorry it sounds a worry.

It can only be one of three possibilities:
-this is a reasonable cost (seems unlikely to me)
-you are losing heat too fast from their room
-your boiler is inefficient

Can you ask a plumber to check your boiler?

Also have you done that thing where you reduce the boiler flow rate? (Sorry if you have, you say you've read everything!)

Do you have a snake along the bottom of their door? The heat is likely to escape if the rest of the house is cooler. Is 17 a problem at night? My DGM sleeps in the downstairs bedroom which is cool compared to the sitting room, heating off at night, but she has a duvet that is something like 13.5 tog.

£15 for both but I have run the washing machine and tumble dryer once today and had the oven running for 30 minutes.

Last couple days seems to be £10-11 a day for both which we can't afford
Turned heating down and seeing what else we can turn off
But for first time ever have some mould in rooms too

My Electric is about £10 a day for the past few weeks, I don't have a gas supply so my heating runs off storage heaters which I only have running for about 6 hours a day, I don't have hot water on unless I need a shower. Wash the dishes with water out the kettle.
