Hi,
I have recently moved into a new build property and require some advice on energy prices. As I have no idea what my consumption is or typically will be, its difficult to use the price comparison websites to work out a savings and whats good and not.

My circumstances -
Me & my wife living at the property. Both of us are full time professionals (9-5) and spend weekends at home.
3 Story, 3 Bedroom End terrace.
Gas Central Heating and hot water(on for maybe 3-4 hours per day)
Gas Stove, Electric Oven

I'm am currently with British Gas on the ClickEnergy 6 Tariff with dual fuel paying by DD.
£33 for elec & £86 for gas is what they have "calculated" it to be. But the gas seems high to me, but then again I have never paid a gas bill in my life s wouldn't know. :)

It would be interesting to know what others in similar circumstances are paying and who with?

Thanks very much,
Anand

    We have a very similar set up and pay eon £65 dd a month for gas and elec, haven’t received our first bill yet (took out the contract in August so am expecting our first bill soon).
  • 3 bedroom semi, 2 adult 2 kids, heating all from 4pm until 11pm and most of weekend we pay £47 per month (British gas click 5) and £163 in credit at mo and we pay more than we use currently. Readings are taken each month by me no estimate readings, I cant remember usage off hand as I am not on the pc that has the spreadsheet.
