Is this gas price right?

Hello! I live in a tiny 1 bed flat, have an electric oven and am yet to turn the heating on - is £35 a month right for just heating water?

    Rather than quoting £s you would be better to include units & type (metric or imperial) as this removes any issue about what you pay per unit.

    Too high for just water.

    At 3.5p per kWh, £35 is 1000kWh, which is 33kWh per day over 30 days.

    This means if you have a 30kW combi, you have to be showering for an hour a day, plus a lot of washing up, EVERY DAY.
