Thumbs down Gas & Electric Costs

Hi All,

Just entered my Gas & Elec readings online to get my bill for the quarter. **** Me. We have used £370 on Gas alone since 1st Nov 09 > 1st Feb 10. That is for 2 adults and one baby - in a detached house One bath is run a night for mum/ baby to share. I have one shower a morning which is mixer type. Heating is on for 1hr Morning/ 1hr Midday and 2hrs Evening - Rad Valves and efficient Combi.

Has anyone else had mega bills? Or is this the norm? Working out my annual bill based on average summer/ winter I am looking at £1700 P.A on gas & electricity alone. Damn this country is getting expensive!!

And yes I am sad enough to be at home on a Sat night working out my bills!

Matt

I pay monthly

86/month leccy and 56 gas.

I reckon leccy is because the daughter takes half hour showers with a 10.5KW shower

I just out to Bedes for a pint, get yer **** down there and I will take your mind off the bills

I paid £400 for a quarter in a 2 bed flat for lec. And another £156 for 2 months, storage heaters are a joke in every way.

Maybe time to swap surpliers.

I've just swapped and saved about £270

Use the gas & electric comprassion on this site. Radio 2's money saving expert. I switched after hearing him talk about switching

Ur gas bill is very high for your usage.

If your central heating was on all day virtually then I would say Ur bill is about right.
