Query about Gas/Leccy Bill

marginalone

Hi,

My brother lives in a 3 bedroom house which recently has had new wall and loft insulation. He told me today that he is paying £89 per month for his Gas and £20 per week for his Electricity??!

Our bills are nowhere even that high! Is that the norm for a 3 bedroom house or is he just an energy junkie ?

Maybe he is paying for a previous debt and or overpaying for this impending Winter. You need to post is actual usage

I took a reading this afternoon:

Gas: 14130
Electricity: 24628

Do you have a previous reading and date?

The last Gas reading was in February: 13515
They then did an estimate in May: 13924

I don't have access to his previous electricity usage

Both are quite high, the electric especially so, but without a full breakdown of actual consumption (kWh not £) over a longer period including winter and any debt build up it is impossible to come to any meaningful conclusions. "Average" UK consumption is around £48 pm gas and £32 pm electric averaged over the whole year.
