What's your annual energy bill?

[Derek]

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

Households will have to deal with even bigger increases in energy bills this year if all six big suppliers follow the lead set by Scottish Power.

Its 2.4 million customers will pay an extra 19% for gas and 10% for electricity from August 1st and other suppliers are expected to follow suit.

The other main suppliers, including nPower , E.On and EDF have told Sky News that their prices are constantly under review.
However British Gas has warned that wholesale energy prices are expected to rise by a further 25% this winter and that "end user prices are yet to reflect this".

Research by uSwitch.com suggests that if all suppliers increase their prices in line with Scottish Power it will add £180 to average household bills this year on top of last winter's wave of price rises that added £63 to annual bills.

About £1200 a year, 3 bedroom semi bungalow.

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

Ditto on everything but in a 2 storey building.
