I'm hoping someone can help.
I have just looked at the last 3 Quarterly Gas bills I have received and to me they seem quite High.
The Gas is only used for Heating and Hot water and the heating has not really been on for the past month or so, cooking is Electric.

July 09 Bill - 3987 kWh - 2-3 weeks of this we were either out of the country or away from home.
April 09 Bill - 5679 kWh
Jans 09 Bill - 5657 kWh

Now there is 2 of us living in a 3 bed Semi and both work full time.

Does this sound High to you all?

Many thnaks

John

    Does seem a little high - I'm also in a 3 bed semi (although there is only one of me) out at work all day and gas hot water/heating and cooking and my annual usage for last year was 8035kwh.
    Mind you, I've not heating on since beginning of March......

    Couple of things - are all these bills based on actual readings rather than estimated?

    The winter bills look fine to me. Admittedly we are a family of six and cook by gas, but we use 24000 (down from 31000) kwh a year. Our cheapest quarters (no heating) tend to be about 2300, so your July bill looks high if it's based on actual readings.
