Gas & Electricity

[The Blue Order]

Just interested to see how much you guys are paying monthly on fuel - both Gas & Electric.

I live in a 3 bedroom 1930's Terrace, me the Mrs and the dog live there, both of us are out all day Mon to Friday.

I'm with British Gas and on a price freeze until next yr & it costs me gas £44 & Electric £46...

Thinking of switching suppliers...

My gas and elec comes to £40 a month,EDF are always trying to put it up,i just say no and low and behold it always covers it,they will rip you off if you let them

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Switched to Scottish Power and saved £450+ this year.

Leccy is about £40-£50 a month and the last gas bill was £55 for the quarter, the one before was £110 and the winter bill came in at £350. Expecting the next one to be about the £100 mark.

Just posted the other day, I live in one bedroom flat near Croydon and was paying £70 gas and £35 electric a month with British Gas.

I made sure I always gave meter readings and complained thought was paying too much.

Had email 2 weeks ago they were cutting payments in half £35 gas, electric £12, when I checked by bank account thought more money than should have and also got a refund of over £200

Combined winters bills are around 900 per quarter, but summers are more like 300 per quarter.

We are with the Co-Op which was considerably cheaper than our previous supplier British gas.

Re: Gas & Electricity

My direct debit is £80 combined for 2 of us in a 2 bed bungalow, rang today as I hadn't got my welcome letter and gave up to date meter readings and in 7 weeks i've used £85 (30 gas and 55 leccy) worryingly I havent used central heating yet so that is just hot water.

£95 for both with EON

Re: Gas & Electricity

2 bed apartment £74 gas and electric with EDF. I'm hardly ever in, up early and back late. so fair play to who ever is getting it for £40 a month!

Wow that sounds expensive for a warm part of the world or is Texas colder than I thought? How many in the household?

I pay £100 combined per month for an average detached house.

2 people in the house. In the winter it's usually pretty cheap (combined $150ish). Summertime can get really expensive as you're pretty much running the AC 24/7 (combined $250ish). The increase is electricity.

No chance of Solar panels or a wind turbine in your back yard(!!) then?

Yeah when its over 100 F multiple days summer its a necessity. This summer was mild by comparison (only hit 100+ 15 times or so), but a couple years ago we hit 100+ 79 times. Hell, its October and the high today here is 93 F.

£45 gas and £46 electricity. 2 of us living in a 3 bedroomed house. In credit with electricity but we use the tumble dryer more in winter so no doubt the credit will be gobbled up. Both of us out at work all day mon-fri so will only have the gas central heating on a few hours a night when needed. Washing machine about 4 times a week and the shower is electric
