Is £160 a month normal for gas and electric?

I live with a house mate and over a year our gas and electric averages out at £80 a month each!

Is this any where normal for a 2 bedroom semi detached house?

I pay about 70 quid a month for a 4 bed house - so I'd say yours was a tad high

I'm paying £100- a month, 4 bed semi.
Are you using it a bit too much? If you have an emmersion heater for your hot water, it'll whack the bill up. Get some of those power saving light bulbs too, but you can't use them with a dimmer switch?

To be fair £160 a month is a mad amount in your circumstances (unless your mate is Robbie Williams, you don't say!). Up until very recently we have been very profligate with fuel as a family and the most we have ever paid is £100/mth for gas/electricity (4 bed property with 4 people living here and an embarrassing amount of gadgetry). I would imagine there's scope for HUGE savings on your bills.

What appliances are you using?

How long do you have your heating on in winter?

Put on a jumper a bit more often and turn the thermostat down. If you dont even know what its set to, thats probably the cause of the high bills

Are you paying back what you owe on previous bills though o is this your actual spend?
