    Well my gas and electric is £85 a month combined.

    It used to be £110, but since they changed my meter, my usage seems to have gone down (don't want to speak too soon though!)

    I wonder if you have a faulty meter.
    I was told my meter wasn't the problem, but its strange that my bills have dropped so much after the
    new meter installation.

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see.....
    consumption per year, will vary between £95 and £120 per annum
    The machine does'nt consume much its the humidifier that drains the electric.

    Interesting you should say that, my OH has a CPAP machine and when he was in hospital for a week we used less electricity than usual. I noticed straight away because we're on a key metre and it's easy to see the money clicking away. :(

    I did a quick google at the time and found a post on a forum where someone had used an electricity monitor to see how much electricity his machine used, he worked it out at about 4p an hour but this was a few years ago.

    I found a post by some engineers that worked it out on some snore uk forum - very recent.

    LOts of people thought it was less than that too.

    So I guess I have an answer.. sigh...
