    If you are going to be there over a full winter then I would easily double that gas usage. Even at say 7500kWh you are still a very low user, but your winter usage will account for the vast majority of your gas.
    Unless you wash and wash up in cold water all summer., I don't understand how your gas usage can be so low even in summer?
    Forget standing charges, put the estimated figs into the comp site and let it do the work: what matters is the total annual cost.
    Your annual statement is in kWh, but your gas meter reads either in cu m or 100's cu ft. The conversion from volume to energy is shown on your bill.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yes I've looked but they all seem to have a standing charge and I can't find a search which includes that within their filters. Was just wondering if there were any alternative ways of lookong


    Ebico gas standing charge is zero pence, Npower fixed 2015 has DD discount which amazingly cancels out the standing charge

    as an electricity only option - do not take their gas on that tariff - £210 standing charge before the discount!)
