Not being nosey, just to get an idea to compare with mine.
Say 3 bed semi - How much ?
120 pm
Electric is ~£26
Gas is ~£260 for the quarter.
Large 3 bed end of terrace and not dual fuel (yet)
I'm pretty tight with the gas and pretty loose with the electric 😀
Our 3 bed semi was around £70 pm combined, and that was with a 15+ yr old back boiler and working from home 5 days a week. Not sure what new house is averaging out at yet as only been here a few months, but looking to be a bit higher.
4 bed detached here. After the mild winter just had a huge refund and down to £100 a month.
30 month for electrics
40 month for oil - this year usually more like 25 but my supplier ran out of wood at the end of summer last year ....so i ran short and had to use oil.
15 month for wood ( averaged over the year but really only burn in winter) - just got my stocks in for next winter not leaving it till end of summer this year !
3 bed end of row semi detached on top of a hill.
3 bed terraced About £100 for gas and £60 for electricity a month.
3 bed end of terrace Victorian house about 140 a month for gas and electric
3-bed mid-terrace, £100/month, although I'm waiting for [s]the robbing criminal bastards at[/s] NPower to send our bill so they can tell me it now needs to be £2.4m a month 🙄
Thanks all.
Looks like I will need to start wearing an extra jumper 🙂
4 bed detached.
No idea because no matter how many times I put my usage into the App, Npower, the useless shower, don't update my account so at the moment they claim I am £700 in credit but I doubt that is *actually* the case....
200yr old 3 bed semi with some crappy insulation, average out around £75 electric, and over winter, about £80/month in solid fuel of varying flavours
need to move electric supplier TBH
Npower, the useless shower, don't update my account so at the moment they claim I am £700 in credit but I doubt that is *actually* the case....
probably set you up with 'once a year' billing, if its anything like us. OTOH if you know how many kwhs you used, its easy enough to work out.
Four-bed detached here, £196 per month for leccy and gas*
* largely as a result of my eldest son having 30/40 minute shower every day (yup the water costs a fortune too).
** rant over

Do you own it? if so insulate it.
Four bed mid-terrace. nPower just moved DD down from £150 to £100 per month (£26 electricity, £74 gas).
Last bill read like I owed them a pot of cash only for it to be reversed by page 5 of the 7 pages of bill, plus apologetic covering letter.
Just doing some comparisons my self. 104 year old 3 bed mid terrace, £69 month dual fuel. Current deal has come to an end and i'm getting a refund of £220... Cheers Scottish power.
About a year ago i had a lot of work done on the house, new boiler and loads of insulation included. Its a remarkable difference, it really is. Before with my old un-economical boiler, payments went to £137 a month (jan 2013)
I also give monthly meter readings so its always accurate
Well this thread had me investigate further - (4 bed detached, young family). Been there 6 months so currently finding our feet but the average for the year (dual fuel) is being estimated at £188. 😯
It's the bloody tumble dryer I bet.

Either that or (like me) your the other half is permanently freezing and "needs" the heating set at a tropical 25degrees.
On the tumble dryer front, I prefer paying a bit to run the dryer, vs mould from clothes being dried.
My gas usage has rocketed since having a Worcester Bosch combi fitted after everyone told me my 20 year old boiler was inefficient. Going to have to contact WB and ask them what is going on especially given that this winter has been much warmer than last.

My gas usage has plummeted since having a Worcester Bosch combi fitted after getting rid of the Ideal Response POS
I really must speak to WB, there must be something not right somewhere.
Db - mrs db knows its more efficient and is using it more 🙂
No, but I reckon baths are a bit fuller now we don't have a storage tank.
Wouldn't have thought that would have offset the difference between this winter and last though; about this time last year we had 12 foot snowdrifts up the front of the house.
Snow insulates right 🙂
We use more oil since we removed our firebird/tank combo .....
But then it was condemned and unusable. 8 months of no heating or ho****er wasnt fun 🙂
2 bedroom flat for me is £112 per month for gas and leccy. I'm fairly liberal in my energy usage. I've just switched though, so that should come down a bit shortly.
1950s detached bungalow about 2000sq ft £100 a month, have got 3 woodburners though.
300e a year electricity.
No gas
160e wood a year if I had to buy it.
4 bed semi
Gas is £50 a month
Electric is £9 a month.
Wood burner in the living room and solar panels.
Either that or (like me) your the other half is permanently freezing and "needs" the heating set at a tropical 25degrees.
Nope, highest winter setting is 22deg (early evening) and 19deg in the morning.
She has overridden it occasionally, but that is normally when we have thin-blooded guests.
4 bed detached house. £100/month for gas and electricity (although current deal expires today so will be a little more). Work from home too, so in winter there is - at the very least - the office under-floor heating on.
5 Bed Detached well insulated, recent new Windows & doors etc. Energy efficient weather compensating boiler. Plus a tight wad who keeps turning the heating down.
2 people working from home
Gas £49 PM
Elec £45 PM
Logs/Coal averages out at roughly £15 PM
this month:
£29 Gas
£58 Elec
Elec oven and hob.
Gas central heating.
Obviously more gas in Winter (£50 last month).
* largely as a result of my eldest son having 30/40 minute shower every day (yup the water costs a fortune too).
Yeah because I'm sure he's spending all that time in the shower 😆
3 bed semi and Ovo quoted us £904 a year combined.
£50 a month for both gas and electric. 2 bedroom tenement flat.
