How much was your July energy bill?

[popgoesthecat2]

The prices dropped a tiny bit (if you were on the price cap), but my energy bill was still £92. Interested to see how much other people's was, considering it should be one of the lowest months of the year.

40 electric, 15 gas. Our lovely cheap tariff ends next week though so it'll only go up from here!

£60 electric. No gas.
Four bed, four adults.

I'm with Octopus and this morning when I put in my metre reading I noticed they are now offering a 12 fixed rate. For me it saves £20 month. There is a £75 exit fee for gas and electricity but that's still saving £240 per year on flexible tariff. It's called Loyal 🐙.

£12.67 gas
£50.19 elec

280 direct debit
No idea why it's so fucking high

How much did you actually use?

If you have the ability to be flexible when you use energy, have a look at Octopus Agile. The rate changes half hourly and you get it 24 hours in advance, so you can plan around the cheapest time. You even get free energy or sometimes they even pay you for using it (last weekend there were about five hours where you got paid for using energy, so we hammered the washing machine, mowed the lawn, etc!).

(It's electricity only but you can go on a separate gas tariff - we are on tracker for gas).

£63 elec £12 gas, single person in 3 bed end of terrace.

192 for gas and electric, six bed semi detached house x

@caringcarer I just signed up for it yesterday, was really happy to be offered what looks like a fairly decent fix! We are coming off a cheap 24m one and this new one 9nly puts our DD up by £45 per month (whoever thought I'd be happy about that 😂)

My direct debit is £250 but my usage this month was £160ish. You usually pay a set direct debit and in the summer the direct debit is higher than what you use to build up a credit for the winter months when your usage may exceed the direct debit amount.

You could opt to pay for what you use each month but that would mean low summer payments and high winter payments. Having a set direct debit means you pay the same each month so don't have large fluctuations between summer and winter

Electricity £14.21, gas £35.10 based on actual usage - just three of us. We're paying £135.61pm on direct debit - don't expect our monthly bills to go down as we won't have the benefit of the £400 from the government.

£53 - about 9 on gas, 45 electricity.

Single household. Am thinking of getting gas capped - it's all standing charge most of the year.

Plan to experiment this winter and cap in spring if that works out.

Gas 65
Electric 125

Damn tumble dryer ....

Not true

Gas -£15.95
Electric £46.53
1 adult, 2 teens ' 1 at home all thr time as yeah 11 finished. I WFH 2-3 days a week

£13.95 gas 146 kw
£47.95 elec 199 kw

We are on the Octopus Tracker and this is the first monthly bill on the new rate.. Pretty pleased so far as I expected a higher elec bill as we are in the middle of house renovations so lots of power tool usage. Also used tumble drier a couple of times as weather here in Wales has been dreadful

So price cap drop doesn't seem to have made much difference here.

My Gas went down by £15 (£74 in June and £58 in July).

My electric stayed about the same (£102.48 in June, £105.51) but I have had to have the tumble dryer on more and the lights on much more because of the godawful weather.

Hopefully the slight drop in gas prices will make my winter bills look a bit better when we use proportionally more gas.

Looks like the tracker is only for existing customers, but it does say you can sign up on any tariff without cancellation fees then switch to the tracker. You can also switch back to a standard tariff or a fix if prices creep up, so as long as you keep an eye on it, there's not much to lose

Oops, link fail, that goes to some faqs for some reason.

I should have said, my electric bill for July was £45.80. No gas. It's pretty consistent year round give or take a fiver. Pay £50 DD.

2 of us in a 2/3 bed victorian terrace, one disabled one carer so always home.
£65 electricity, and £10 gas although meter was same reading as last month (only gas is hob)
