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 ?
Is that each or for all of you over three months??
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.Quote:

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
lol that's not bad ..really I pay £100 elecy and £75 gas a month ..
Silly Moose, why would it be an each figure ?Quote:

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.Quote:

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_oQuote:

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.Quote:

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.
Sainsbury's Energy (British Gas)
eeeek! And, here I was moaning about my bills!Quote:

Elec only about £60 pcm. Cheap overnight electricity helps a lot.
I've just logged into my account and appears I'm already up to just shy of £100 credit so I'd say I could drop the payments.Quote:

My gas was 75 for 3 months :p
3BR – 3 occupants with EDF. Quarterly electricity is around £140-200 I think but gas is usually £420+ depending on the season. I’m surprised our electricity bill isn’t higher given the amount of computer and TV/AV use. I don’t know the exact numbers as the wife pays the bills.
£550 here for last quarter... 3 occupants in 2 bed flat (dual fuel from British Gas)
Have switched suppliers.
Gas to Flow energy. £43/month
Electricity to npower - £51/month
Fairly modern flat, two bedrooms and I work from home a fair bit
All per month
Gas:
Cold weather (central heading on) £55
Warm weather (No central heating) £25
Electricity:
£25
So much better compared to our old drafty cottage!
That's some sweet figures dude! Who's your supplier ?Quote:

Cheers, Jim
I'm with Scottishpower.
6 Person house, 6 bedrooms.
Gas: £100 p/m
Electricity: £60 p/m
I presume with this hot weather my gas will be much less for the summer months.
Single, 24 months here = 1.10 a day av. (no gas) Actually less on av. as I've been here 30 months and the last bill was of course cheaper but 1.10 is the truer picture.
Cold? Never, bar perhaps a minute a night using the loo in the dead of winter. Cook? Of course. Little bathing? once every 2 days (ok, little in some peoples book, but I have a separate shower room for sweaty days) TV? about 10-15 hours a week......and so on.
I see one site suggests 14.00 a day for 1 bed flat (duel fuel) Simply refuse to accept 2 pounds a day p/p is necessary as I never deny myself or guests (for example & being the main one) heat in the room/s they are in, but I refuse to heat the hallway, unless they want to sit in the hallway!
One bed flat about £75pm dual fuel via Scottish power.
