theripsaw Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 How much does your gas and elec come to per month? No matter how much I cut down, I've never managed to get the bill down. I pay £80 month in total, live alone and I'm out at work all day so only have the (gas) heating on for 1hr in morning and a couple of hours in the eve. Hate to think how much it costs the little old ladies at home all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ours is £195 per month. We are a family of 4 in a 5 bed Victorian semi, which is too old for cavity insulation and very drafty. Every room has 2 external walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 £145/month for both in a big victorian terraced house with an outdated heating system. It's occupied pretty much 24/7 so that isn't too bad. Re-doing all the insulation in the next two weeks so that might help bring it down a bit. Although we pay £145 we are £500 in credit on the bill so won't be worrying about having the heating on this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluedtopc Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I believe British Gas do free insulation for their customers. Do any of the other suppliers have similar plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Cut down and it will hit the profits of the providers and I suspect they will then increase the tariff to offset the drop in profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I believe British Gas do free insulation for their customers. Do any of the other suppliers have similar plans? Yeah most if not all of them have a scheme Insulation is £3 a roll at B&Q at the moment. I'd rather do mine in my own time and know it's done properly and it allows me to tackle a few other jobs in the loft at the same time - re-boarding, new TV arial etc... Insulation is costing me £27.

Nagel Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ours is £195 per month. We are a family of 4 in a 5 bed Victorian semi, which is too old for cavity insulation and very drafty. Every room has 2 external walls. Ouch! I went on a tarriff fixed till 2014 as soon as I got wind of the recent price increases and pay £162 - 5 bedroom Edwardian semi.

Mikes10 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Im with Scottish and Southern (SSE), I switched to their 3 year fixed tarrif last month I currently pay a total of £88 a month for both gas and electric. Take note of the meter readings every month, a mate of mine has a clip-on energy meter for his electricity and he reckons he is 'losing' the equivalent of 1-kWh per day. Its probably the tv and his kids computers/ game consoles plugged in but not being used, thats about a £1.00 per week or £52.00 per year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
