What's your annual energy bill?

[danielf]

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.

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

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!

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.

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?)

[Taf]

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.

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.
