Moved House, bill up from £50 to £150 a month
Hi there,
Got my first quaterly bill at my new house and it's working out at £150 a month for elec and gas combined, this is just crazy. The house has one extra bedroom and one extra downstairs room compared to my last house and we only paid £50 a month there.
I've checked the meter and it spins at a crazy rate when the heatings on, the boiler isn't brand new but it's only about 5 years old so shouldn't be too bad.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Daz

When we moved to our new house, our electric bills were half the price we paid at our old house.
It's probably the equipment you have.0 -
Hi Daz
What unit prices were yu paying at the old house vs the new one and how may units are you consuming?
Also is the bill based on actual usage or just a estimate?
MPI have a poll / discussion on Economy 7 / 10 off-peak usage (as a % or total) and ways to improve it but I'm not allowed to link to it so have a look on the gas/elec forum if you would like to vote or discuss.:cool:
