How much is your elec bill?

D4WNO

I live alone in a 2 bed flat. Dont have gas but do have an electric shower I use at least twice a day. 3-4 sets of washing a week also

My quartly bill has just come in at £190! Does this sound about right?

Have you checked the reading is correct?

Presumably you have Storage Heating on an Economy 7 tariff?

£190 for a March -June quarter in an all electric house sounds very reasonable.

Yes you're right on the Economy 7 storage heating Cardew

Blimey I didn't realise that was good, ouch!!

I've gave them a reading when I moved in but was hoping my leccy was dodgy or something lol

Thanks for your help guys

after trying my best to reduce our usage i received my bill this morning for 150 odd, i have economy 7 also. seems prices are just high nowdays.

I use £5 a week in my key meter, i have a 2 bed house.

The average household spends abour £1,000 pa gas/electricity and electricity is more expensive than average.

It is most important that you learn how to use Economy 7 correctly, otherwise you will have very heavy bills next winter. Avoid any 'topping up' of storage heating at daytime rates as this will cost serious money. If possible use washing machine in the E7 period - although in a flat this could cause a noise problem for you and neighbours.

Thanks for the further tips, just reading up properly on Economy 7 now

I mean't, to check its simliar to what they are saying you owe? Or is it an actual reading instead of estimated?
