Hi all,

I'm moving house this week (very excited but a little stressed!) and I need to do a new SOA for you to pull apart if you would. However, I will have gas for the first time, and I don't really know what to estimate.

I currently pay £67 a month for electricty by Direct Debit on Economy 7.

The new house has gas central heating. We heated our old place with a little trundle-about oil heater though and I'm planning to keep using this (unless you think the gch will be cheaper?).

It also has a electric oven, but a gas hob.

I think the boiler is a combi boiler as I didn't notice a hot water tank/immersion heater. The shower is run from the boiler's hot water, not electricity.

There will be two of us in the house. Can anyone in a similar scenario advise as to a sensible amount that I would be spending on gas/electricy?

Thanks in advance for your help

Caz
