How much gas and electric should we be using?

Legacy_user

Me and the OH are moving into our own place and am trying to estimate what we will be using.

For the now it's 2 adults in a 3 bedroom house (around 8 years old) so insulation should be quite good.

I've got the Tier 1 and Tier 2 prices but need to know how many KWh of gas and electricity 2 adults in a 3 bedroom house will use over a year.

Also have to take into consideration that from July we will have a baby.

Any help is greatly appreciated as i've just made a spreadsheet.

Thanks.

Hi , my wife and I are active OAPs (in most days) in a 3 bedroom detached house in Chester and for the last two years usage has been :
19000 kwh Gas
02800 kwh Electric
Gas usage is basically 6 month's CH on and 6 month's off and gas
winter usage 3 X summer . Hope this helps .

Your gas is very low. Are you sure it is less than 4,000 for the whole year?

That's quite good. 50% of the annual usage is over the 3 coldest winter months. It is not evenly spread over the year. The summer bills will be much lower.
