Back of a fag packet calculation is you have used approx £240 worth in 110 days,which is over 3 and a half months.I m using 13.5 p kwh as a guess for the tariff and 20 p a day standing charge plus 5% vat.
works out something like £70 a month. That seems OK to me0 -
So 19 April to 7 Aug is 1675 units - about 14 weeks - 6200 units a year.
At about 12p (Bulb users could you provide an actual please) is £750 a year plus standing charge plus VAT is about £900 a year. Not extortionate fo all electric.
With so many estimates why are you not reading your meter ? (at least every month)0 -
Missed the gas bit.
Halogen lights, electric showerNever pay on an estimated bill0 -
Are your lights on all the time, is your microwave plugged in all the time (they eat electricity, try unplugging it and see if that helps). Do you have storage heaters?0

You are averaging 15 units a day, around twice the average for a gas heated property. How are you heating the water over summer ? Electric shower ?0

Are you using an immersion heater rather than your gas boiler?Never pay on an estimated bill0
