how much do you pay for gas/electricity each month?

fitzcarraldo [Edit] [Delete] 17 replies 11:20, 30 January '13

great thread i'm sure you'll agree

scottish power have helpfully just doubled our bill to over £140 for gas/electricity

think i might finally need to teach my flatmate how to work the fucking heating properly...

  • It was £180 over three months for three of us before I moved out

    This was with two unemployed people who refused to have the heating in though.

    • we're a small-ish 2 bed flat but it's ground floor which i get makes it colder too

      still seems a lot though

  • too fucking much

  • £20 a month for electricity.

    Gas is included in the rent. Cool.

  • £12.50 each in summer

    £35 each in winter to have the heating on almost constantly.

    We haven't given a meter reading yet though.

    • i'd give them a reading asap if i were you

      just to be sure you aren't accruing a debt to them

      fitzcarraldo @Tillance | 30 Jan '13, 11:47 | X
      • We're moving out soon

        So we need to do it in the next few weeks anyway.

  • This is where I tell you that unfortunately you're going to need to pay more if you want to save the planet

    lemonbrickcombo | 30 Jan '13, 11:36 | X
  • it's all included in my rent

  • British Gas for both.

    They recently dropped our monthly direct debit for £16 to cover the combined cost of both.

    • fascinating

      tell me more

      IndieAndy_Jones @TheoGB | 30 Jan '13, 11:44 | X
  • £100 for both divided between 5 of us.

    5 double rooms with 1 person in each.
    Gas central heating with radiators in kitchen, lounge, downstairs bedroom, downstairs bathroom, central heating hot water in master bathroom.
    Electric radiators in other 4 rooms and electric showers in other 2 bathrooms.

    It's not always a 50/50 split each month, but probably works out on average.

    deadonthestairs | 30 Jan '13, 11:44 | X
    • Oh, they're both on meters too - so this is probably more expensive than it should be.

      deadonthestairs @deadonthestairs | 30 Jan '13, 11:44 | X
      • ...and we're really good at switching shit off/not leaving things on standby.

        deadonthestairs @deadonthestairs | 30 Jan '13, 11:45 | X
  • £45pm

    Dual fuel with the Co-op. 2 bed flat with 2 people.

    Energy is cheap as fuck when you compare it to how much people piss away on comms (TV licence, cable/satellite, mobile phone, broadband, netflix/lovefilm/spotify/ps3/xbox...).

    • ...landline rental. Landline. Rental. For FFS Sake.

      TheWza @TheWza | 30 Jan '13, 12:38 | X
  • PT

    electricity: 38€ -> 33 BPS
    gas: 23€ -> 20 BPS
