Default Gas & Electric Bills.

I'm curious if mine seems a little high or not.........

I pay £71.00 a month for both Gas & Electric with Powergen.

I live in a 1 bed ground floor maisonette on my own.

Does that seem a little high??

Mines £21 a month for gas and leccy - 2 bed semi-detached house! I think I actually use about £30 or so a month, so I'd say £71 is a bit high for a masionette!

I'm approx £82 on direct debit for a 3 bed house, a mrs who cant turn a switch off and who loves hair dryer/tumble dryers and 2 kids who always have something on.

So £71 maybe high for a 1 bed 1 person place...

I live in a 3 bedroomed house with boyfriend and daughter, there's someone in all the time because he works days and I do nights.

We were paying British Gas £90 a month for gas and electric up til this month, when they sent us £330 and £195 refunds for gas and electric respectively, our payments have been adjusted to £65 a month for both.

Good lord, you seem to have small bills.

I've got a three bed semi, a wife who likes living in a greenhouse and two toddlers who couldn'r really care.

I pay £125 a month dual fuel and I'm not in credit!
