Hi

I am a reasonably recent home owner and ive just received my first quarterly bill. I was just interested to see how my bills compare...

Im 31, live on my own in a 2 bed upstairs flat, kitchen, bathroom, one tv, gas cooker, central heating. Im with Southern Electric (dual).

My bills:
14 aug 16 nov
GAS £47.73
ELEC: £28.13

Thanks

Have you knobled the meters? I wish mine were that low.

Thats pretty good.

Southern Electric
3 Bed 30's Semi.
2 People

Gas - £30/m (£90/q)
Electric - £28/m (£84/q)

I usually end up with a rebate at the end of the year.

Estimated or actual?

 

[collinsc]

cool, thanks for posting. seems like my bills are cheap then.

 

[collinsc]

actual.


the estimates were £17.16 for gas and £15.47 for electric - i rang up to give the correct readings. this is why i was unsure if perhaps i had been frivolous. As may be apparent - this is the first time ive ever had to pay an elec or gas bill of my own!

You are not living - merely surviving !!

For 2007 :-
366 kWh / month Electricity Av' domestic usage for GB
1468 kWh / month Gas Av' domestic usage for GB

That would be, today, through OVO Energy £965 p/a or £80.42 p/m in Somersetshire NE.

I used 295kWh pm Elec and 1748kWh gas - same period-2007... 4 bed House inhabited pretty much 24/7 £972 or £81 p/m OVO Energy today.

Flippin eck you lot have good energy bills. My Wife is paying about £77 a month for gas and electric combined in a 3 bed semi. At the moment she is about £100 or so in credit. There are only 2 of us and we're out all day at work.
