What's your annual energy bill?
 

Given some people's statements in another thread, I'm interested in how much people pay for gas and leccy annually. Tips and tricks are obviously welcome.


To start the ball rolling: Our DD is £119 pcm for an end-terraced 3 bed roomed house with two occupants. That's £1428 per year.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

I'm all electric and its a 1 bed apartment in a 1960's building, 3rd floor of 13. My average yearly bill is £600 which is pretty ridiculous considering I'm not there 8-7 Monday to Friday or all weekend :erm:

If I used the electric heating as others use their gas central heating (continuous from 7pm-11pm) weeknights, my bills would easily hit £100 per month in winter. As it is I visit friends a lot and freeze my bits off most of the time!

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

I'm gas central heating in a three bedroom 50's bungalow with four of us living here and my combined gas and electric yearly costs are between £1500 to £1700 pa.
I seem to spend my time in the winter turning the thermostat down only to find that it has "mysteriously" turned itself up again.:)

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

mine is £75 per calender month 2 bedroom end terraced heavy electric user light gas user occupied in the day £900 per year - DD discount of £50 so £850

Might it be an idea to add tarrif rates?

online saver 6 EDF

Gas 5.571 per kwh upper rate
2.833 per kwh lower rate

Electric
10.48 per kwh upper rate
7.45 per kwh lower rate

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Always been with British Gas - but switched to PAYG Meters 3 or 4 years ago. The house is a 1950's 3 bedroom terrace with double glazing, loft and wall insulation. The central heating was controlled by a very unreliable back-boiler. But this was thankfully removed and replaced with a new combi-boiler and new radiators about 6 months ago.

Occupants: 3 adults

We seem to use more gas than electric, yet before we went PAYG it was the other way round. ??

Spend between £15 and £20 per week feeding both meters. so that's a yearly cost of somewhere between £780 and £1040

Gas 4.73 per kwh upper rate
2.87 per kwh lower rate

Electric
8.28 per kwh (I couldn't find high or low, so I don't know which of the 2 this reading is for?)

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

3 bed semi, 2 adults, 2 teenagers, new double glazing, wall insulation, loft insulation above standard, condensing combi boiler, TRVs in all rooms, low energy lighting, "A" grade washing machine, fridge and chest freezer.

Gas 11,000 khw/pa

Elec 4,600 kwh/pa

According to http://www.simplyswitch.com/energy/s...energyuse.aspx that puts our gas consumption well below half the average (saving 14,000 kwh/pa) amd also below the average electricity consumption (saving 900kwh/pa).

Switched to local SWALEC but will change whenever necessary to get the lowest costs. Going to enquire about Social Tariffs as our outlay must be close or beyond the qualification criteria now.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

4-bed dormer, semi detached, timber construction ... decent new double glazing and loft insulation, but absolutely awful heat retention through the walls.

Biomass (compressed wood pellets) - 4.5 tonnes per year, approx. 21,150 kWh - £990 per year
Electricity - 5,000 kWh, £40 per month, so approx. £480 per year

Total for all energy = £1,470

We've switched tariffs a couple of times in the last 12 months so it's hard to tell exactly what our electricity costs are, but £40 is our current DD. It dropped substantially when we switched from Scottish Hydro to Sainsburys/EDF.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Top floor 2-bedroom flat in a new build (less than five years old)

I'm here alone most of the time. Combined gas/electricity is £37 DD per month on a 1 year capped rate with Scottish Power. It'll probably jump up after the last few weeks of the cold weather.

I've become a bit of a switch-nazi since getting one of the electricty monitors as a freebie and making sure everything is off standby as much as possible.

a frugal scot there's a novelty ;)

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Those things are great ... we have one on free loan from a local energy conservation project.

The best thing about them is, you work up such a sweat constantly walking round the house hunting down whatever device is currently drawing that last 0.1kWh, you can turn the central heating down a notch. Double savings! :D

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Four bed detached DG, three adults in residence, mostly out through the day.

Npower direct debit dual-fuel, Electricity tariff Economy 7, standard Gas Tariff, and we pay £82 pm Electricity DD and £52 pm Gas DD (total £134 pm, £1608 per year), and we are £127.51 in credit at the moment.

Electricity - Night @ 4.350p kWh, Day first 180 @ 20.850p per kWh, rest @15.620p per kWh
Gas - first 338 @6.874p per kWh, rest @ 2.388p per kWh

Predicted costs for the next twelve months are £1377.98 on gas & electricity, including £100 annual discount.

We average 15.88 kWh per day on electricity, against 17.92 kWh for this time last year, and 21.42 kWh per day on gas, against 17.67 kWh for this time last year, with calculated usage of 6112 kWh Electricity and 14377 kWh Gas over 12 months.

Gas central heating with condensor boiler, gas fire and gas hob/electric ovens, thermostats on all radiators and main thermostat set to 17/18C.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

I was advised by BG Energy Efficiency Team that the most econmical setting to set the thermostat to is between 19 and 21... I disagree, 0 would be ultimately better. :)

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

We have a 3Bed Semi on BG dual-fuel (online fixed price until 2011) paying by monthly DD.

Theres 3 of us in residence (4 if u count the dog :)) with my OH in all day due to disability

House is double-glazed (renewed last yr) and has a condensing-combi boiler (3yrs old) (with brilliant digital thermostat) with no hot water tank, and has more than recommended loft insulation, along with 3/4 way up cavity wall insulation (due to the way the house was built)

Gas = £44 /month
Elec = £35 /month
Total = £79/month

So we pay £948 annually at the moment.


EDIT: We also have TRVs on all but 2 rads, but we could do with some decent draught excluders on the doors!

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Get another dog and train both to lay down beside the door? :D

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

:LOL:

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Thanks Daniel for starting thread. It's interesting to compare as you can't tell the unusual without seeing what others are paying. Looking through there doesn't seem to be a big difference amongs the prices overall.
I pay £28 a month for electric and £40 a month for gas. This gives me a credit each month to cover in case of big bills in the winter.
I have a 2 bedroomed mid-terrace house. I'm paying between £780 to £816 a year with Atlantic Electric and Gas.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Combined bill for a 2 bed maisonette £1920 / year.

Nice big refund coming back to me in the near future.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

3 bedroom semi, double glazing, loft floor insulation & foam spray underside of roof (slate tiles, no felt). Solid (no cavity) brick walls.

Condensing boiler (3 years old). Radiators in living room & hallway downstairs, all 3 bedrooms & bathroom upstairs. All radiators except bathroom with TRVs plus thermostat in downstairs hallway. Gas fire in living room, gas cooker.

British Gas for gas & leccy - DD for £46 & £20 pm, respectively.

It will be interesting to see if the DD covers us for increased use this winter & for the fact Mrs Gaz is now at home more, since retiring.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

It looks like our annual energy bills are going to soar even higher.

:LOL::LOL: haha

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

About £1200 a year, 3 bedroom semi bungalow.

And that's with a condensing boiler, cavity insulation, loft insulation and double glazing.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

Ditto on everything but in a 2 storey building.
I blame the children - just because I can and they deserve it :D

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

ours is a 3 bed semi and ours is £136 a month, but we have an old system, backburner. were getting it updated but i doubt the cost will go down because the electric companies are going to increase the cost apparently.

if i could afford it i would get one of these solar kits, you can run so much of a decent kit, but you pay the price in another way, obviously it looks tacky

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

£1080 PA. Duel fuel with E-on. Gas CH & Water all else electric.

Wish our aspect was slightly more N/S rather than NE/SW than we would get free solar power with the excess generated to the solar panel providers.

Re: What's your annual energy bill?
 

My annual bill is 300.00 pounds for electric and 360.00 pounds for gas.
