    gas = 0 kWh and elec = about 4000 kWh

    You know there is a huge thread on this somewhere if you can be bothered to do a search. ;)

    matty2767, I have a 70s built 3 bed linked detached house. There are two of us at home all day as we are pensioners. Our figs are 19500 amd 3500 kWh a yr for gas and electtc.

    TBH IMO what is reasonable depends on lifestyle, location, insulation and many other factors. I think your figs are below the national average however.
  • No gas. 20,000 kwh electricity. Yes 4 zeros. That's why I switch so often. Use 2 night storage heaters. Have oil-fired central heating and coal/log fires. Energy bills enormous.
  • I have no gas and have coke fired central heating. Costs £20 a week on coke but it's only on in winter.

    You're below average Matty, tho insulating more and adjusting routine and lifestyle are always worth it.
    Martins comment that "cutting costs without cutting back", means finding the cheapest supplier is a must.
