How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
So,
How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
Who is your provider ?
How many people and how many bedrooms in your house.
Me
- British Gas :wallbash:
Electricity - £140
Gas - £190
4 ppl , 3 bedrooms
I badly need to change suppliers. Weren't some companies offering free solar cells ? What happened to them ?
Re: How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
Is that each or for all of you over three months??
Re: How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
Four bedroom house, 2500sq/ft.
One person (and one frequent guest).
$120-180 per month for Gas/electric/sewer. Garbage pick up is another $34 a month.

The government pulled the plug on the enormous subsidies given to pay for feed in tariffs.

But funily enough, the installation costs dropped proportionately, so the return on investment time is roughly the same.
Re: How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
Yeah it's only worth it if you are building your own house as there are grants/subsidies on new builds which are still worth it for a faster ROI
OP: how much are you using in units (KWH/cm^3)? When you have £z for gas/elec it's still x units at y1 peak price and y2 off peak price.... it's meaningless to say what it's OTT when the only thing that dictates the proportional cost is the unit price
Re: How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
lol that's not bad ..really I pay £100 elecy and £75 gas a month ..

Gas was 4000kwh for last quarter and Electricity was 1000. British Gas dont have a peak/off-peak pricing for my tariff. It's something like upto x, y p. After x, z p
Electricity quarterly - £45 > 2005 £150 > 2013
Gas quarterly - £75 > 2005 £190 > 2013

So £330 for 4 people over 3 months? Thats £110 over three months each,which is around £37/month per person per month. That is not a lot TBH.
Re: How much was your last quarter's gas/electricity bill ?
I'm on monthly DD's for both electric and gas.
From memory they're between £35-£40 for each per month so call it £75 a month for both and I'm really not a heavy user at all.
When I'm home will update with unit use age and charging.
Oh and the OP figures don't sound particularly high at all.

You're not suggesting that these "green" companies were ripping off the government are you? O_o

I'm paying £44 a month DD to British Gas for both (not each). That's 1 person in a top floor/2nd floor 2 bed flat (with central heating). If it wasn't for the long cold chill until April, I'd probably have paid over a bit. I only have the hot water on 15 minutes a day in the morning for a shower and that's it gas-wise now.

Possibly an element of that as mass production of solar cells increases.
But to the OP's question...
Single occupancy, 3 bedroom semi built 15 7ears ago and I pay £75/month to E-on. (but I am currently working from home so my energy costs are probably a bit higher).

Gas £762.66 (17981.62 KWh) [The joys of the control unit being in someone's bedroom and heating being left on 24/7 :rolleyes: ]
Elec £188.96 (1513.84 KWh)
5 bed, 6 people.
