    Combination of previously only paying £60 and the cold winter = higher debit. The debit should be recalculated in April and will come down again then - but not back to £60.

    £750 gas for six months heating is not bad. The trouble is with the recent mild winters you may be out of touch with how much gas you use when you do need the heating. Was the 13 Aug meter reading an actual reading?

    £1400 per year is 20% more than what I pay on a similar property for gas and electric combined and yes my meter readings are up to date and no my direct debit is not too small to cover my annual usage!

    At 25 KWH this would use 8700 KWH over 6 months which is well short of the usage billed!

    Sorry, don't understand this.

    OP's gas comes in at 200kwh+ a da y. I know that's high but we can easily use 120kwh a day just having the heating on mornings and evenings on very cold days and 150kwh a day when the kids are home and turn it on throughout the day.
