Electric

[jennyjoan]

How much a month is ok. Have just been told. £95. Is that ok

[youngmafbog]

It depends on your personal circumstances, how big your gaff is, how well insulated and of course how you heat it - gas/oil etc.

Doesn't seem very much to me. Mine combined is over £500 a month.

[davebro]

Is that just electric or dual fuel?

I'm guessing you're at the lower end of usage & £95 should be enough.

[Smowball]

Mine doubled lately to about £280 I think.

Electric only Davebro

JJ, I thought you had oil fuelled heating

[jennyjoan]

Do Barry. Have oil heating and electric for basics is. TV. Lamp. Computer maybe an hour a night of electric heating from fire

[davebro]

I have gas heating. My electric is currently about £40 pm. - main uses are the electric oven, tumble drier, then the usual lights, TV etc.

It may go up a bit in October.

You're not all electric. As the most expensive part of a domestic energy bill is heating and hot water, your electric bill seems a bit high but as you do use for occasional heating its probably the best you can get at the moment.
How do you get your hot water?

[bookbinder]

I live in a 3-bed bungalow. I have electricity for lights and sockets, gas for central heating. My last electricity bill was for the period 28/04/22 to 22/07/22, and it was £160.39. That equals £53.46 per month.

[jennyjoan]

Use hot water off the oil ie just turn on hot water switch

[jennyjoan]

Right. I will be paying 34.40 per unit have spoken to powerini theirs is is 29.5 shall I switch

[barry1010]

Check the daily standing charge as well as the unit price, JJ

[Paigntonian]

Depends if you live in a stately home or bedsit.
