Me and my partner have just moved into a 3 bed house December 16th. We didnt have an electric cooker until the second week in January we have our heating on at night for around 2 hours at the most we have an iPad and laptop one tv..no washing machine as of yet and a fridge freezer. Our bill came to 169 70 for elec and 90 for gas and that was for a month! I really don't get it we both work all day and no one is in..any help.?

  • Do you have actual readings from the date you took responsibility and the date of the bill?

    £259.70 for the month.
    Have you looked to see if you are on the cheapest tariff?
    Are you sure you have only had the heating on for 2 hours per day? Heating is very costly.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    lights? , also must be very cold if only 2 hours
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
