| Just got the gas bill....£370 for 3 months = £30 a week Just checked and thats £100 more than last years bill of the same period...then checked the next period Jan-March and it was £517 (£43/wk)....yikes I have GOT to start turning it off cos I seriously do not want a bill over over £600 just for gas in April! Anyone else had scary heating bills this winter? |

We onlynhad our gas installed last jan so we have just done our first year. Now I'm off we have it on from 6am to 10pm at a temperature of 20/21 degrees. I hope ours doesn't end up that high x |

| Our first bill in our new house was £100 for a month, and that was Oct-Nov. We have since had cavity wall and loft insulation, so hoping it will improve a little bit... |

| our electric is going to be way more this winter. but that's mostly to do with me being off work so heating, tv, laptop are all on more than normal. |

| Our combined electric and gas is £68 a month on direct debit. That heats a 4 bed house.
We put our heating on at 15 all the time in the winter then just turn it up for a couple of hours in the evening when Wil is getting ready for bed. It avoids the boiler having to warm up from cold to 20+ degrees because it is the heating up that costs the most (a bit like revving the engine on your car).
I have an electric oil fired radiator in my office and just use that if I am working from home rather than heat the whole house. |
