Just wondering how much you pay for electric a month?
Ours has just gone up from £50 to £57
Really don't see how it's that high

Jesus, we are definitely paying too much then!
It's an old house in an exposed location with knackered windows.
See I could understand if there's heating involved but we have no heating
It's probably similar to what we're paying for ours - we pay £130 per month for both. We don't have electric heating. There are two of us in a large three bedroom house, we have a gas cooker and no tumble drier (two things that use a lot of electricity). It's difficult to compare with other people as everyone is different.
In the winter my gas bill peaked at £83, but last month it was only £13.
I keep getting Electric Bills saying I'm X amount in debit but they keep insisting that the £22 a month will cover it ..
I'd get a dual fuel deal if my cooker wasn't officially 'unsafe'
Surely it depends on how many rooms you have, how many appliances you run, how many lights you have on!
I pay 120 per month gas and electric. Try and build up credit during the summer as the gas bills are much higher in the winter because of heating costs.
Works out about £100 a month over the year.
I still do. Just paid £240 for a 1/4.
The reduction is partly due to a very mild winter so I was more in credit than usual and I have been making more of an effort to be energy efficient by turning things off and fitting lower energy LED light bulbs. Replacing 50W bulbs with 4W ones can make a big difference.
It depends on the type of property and appliances I think. I don't have a washing machine [well one that works lol] And my hot water, heating and cooker is gas not electric.
There are two of us living in a three bedroom house [my youngest is at Uni so away most of the time] and my daughterwho lives with me is at work most days.
I am careful about how much I use as I am on a very low income atm, so I turn off anything I'm not using and have those horrible eco lightbulbs.
