Is this normal?!

You have used 211 cu m of gas. Not sure how you did your conversion, but that is (assuming a metric meter, it being a new build) approx 2,398kwH, not 1,914. To convert, multiply by approx 11.2.

I got the kwh from my online British Gas account.:o

Was there 2 lines maybe one line saying 484kWh @ x.xxp and 1914kWh at x.xxp?

But that is based on the last meter reading-not on today's reading of 00228.

Hey everyone.

We're currently with British Gas and have lived in our new flat since December 2011. We live in a new-build which is environmentally friendly and economical.

I was wondering if our gas and electricity bills are "too low"? (not complaining of course but from what I've read here, our bills should be higher). =/

I'm 25 and disabled. My husband is 22 and my full-time carer. I need the heating on alot because my illness means that I have trouble regulating my temperature so putting on loads of layers by itself doesn't help. We don't have any children and we live in a one bedroom flat.

Our gas bill is approximately £35 a month and our electricity bill is £22 a month.

This seems low from what I've read here and I was wondering if anyone else's bills are that low? I was expecting them to be higher because obviously my husband and I are in all day because I cannot work and was expecting our bills to reflect this.

HiYa Morticia, ask your supplier for your Calculated Annual Consumption [ CAC ] and tell those here what they say ! Even with the best R-value products and the highest home rating 1/12th of a year is difficult to work with. As macman and others said :

- its higher now than next month
- lower in the summer than winter
- its the average that counts
- you won't know that till Dec this year

If you tell us the CAC we will be able to give a fairly accurate 'guesstimate, best to you Morticia

That is a little worrying, since my house is solid wall.
If new housing stock are so energy efficient,
no one will buy or rent the old ones.

I wouldn't worry too much. The energy efficient new flats cost more to rent. The extra cost in rent can easily outweigh the higher cost of electric/gas on an older property.
