High or not!!

Hi I'm currently living in a 3 bed detached house with my OH & Son (15). We are currently paying £55pm for Electricity and £48pm for Gas. All our heating is gas this goes on for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening, however the room themometer is always at 20oC the hot water is on all the time, and we cook on a a gas hob. Our Electrical appliances include dishwasher (used once a day), tumble dryer (used approx once a day), washing machine (used once a day) my sons Xbox which is on constantly on at the weekend and about 3 hours at night and most nights one of our computers is on.

Do you think I'm paying too much? My current supplier is EDF, should I switch supplier?:confused: Or am I just using to much!! Any advise would be appreciated.

  • No I dont. I pay £40 a month for a 2 bed property, where the heating and electric is off 40hrs a week because and my partner use works!! Lol
    And he plays PS3 and PC until all hours-I watch every soap under the sun and I use an electric cooker and gas very occasionally-just to heat hot water maybe for two hours a day-and I very rarely ever have the heating on-so no...i don't think your bills are too high-it's average-although I think if you switch to southern electric, you may save as I have found them the cheapest in comparision to everyone. I left British Gas (Spit Spit) to be with Southern and it's one of the best decisions I have ever made!
    Loan-£3600 only 24 months of payments to go!!!
    All debt consolodated and cards destroyed!!
    As D'Ream would sing 'Things.....can only get better'!!!
