    Do you have gas and electric ? If electric only - storage rads or panel heaters ?
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
  • Depends on how much you use.

    Whilst an average number may or may not be close to what your bill would be, you could google "average gas and electricity bill 1 bed flat"

    Location may also be relevant - not sure if the username is significant but a property in Skye will probably entail higher heating bills than one in, say, Bournemouth....

    It'll depend on quite a number of factors - can't really comment realistically without knowing a lot more about your situation. A new home with good insulation, efficient radiator, in a warmer location will be a lot cheaper to run. Either way make sure to record your meter readings and check your usage on a regular basis. I'd also suggest staying away from "standard" tariffs with your provider, as these are generally more expense.

    A few good ideas to get started shopping around for the best deals:
