All electric flat costs?

My new flat is solely electric. I've never had this before. It is just me and my child, can someone tell me on average how much it will cost each month? I've just been on Uswitch and I must have done something wrong because it's quoted me £350 per month?

I have a tiny flat, one night storage heater, one plug in oil heater to boost. I have a washing machine, dishwasher, shower and have a couple of baths a week. I currently pay £49 per month for electric.

Do you have storage heaters? If so you should look at economy 7 tariffs as the heaters charge up overnight and then release heat during the day

We have a (very old and cold) 2 bed flat on electric only, 2 adults and 1 toddler. We have storage heaters but don't use them. We use two plug in heaters (convector and oil) and use a tumble dryer and dishwasher regularly. We aren't particularly careful with our electric usage if I'm honest.

Our electric bill is just over £100 through the winter and usually dips below £50 in the summer. A monthly direct debit of around £80 or £90 usually keeps us covered and in credit through the year.

We have an all electric 2 bed flat, 2 adults. Its a pretty basic system (and a bit rubbish really). When we moved in there was a prepayment meter so we've just left that. For 2 storage heaters, hot water every day, electric cooker, washing machine etc, we put £20pw on the meter every week. We use approx £13pw year round except for the coldest winter months when the heating goes on. Then the cost shoots up to approx £25-30pw. Luckily thats only about 4 months of the year so that's covered by the build up of credit.
