Ive just got in from work ,opened the front door and sitting on the mat was a bill from E-ON











































£609.52 for the last 3 months :shoc ked:
I rang them to see if this was correct, there answer was yes ,we have had a cold winter

 

Dont know why it was posted twice, please delete one

 

It must have been the shock.

 

Is that an estimated bill or an accurate one?

To me that sounds a SILLY amount of money!

What size is your house?

 

I has just picked my jaw up off the floor .

 

and whats it usually? do you live in a mansion? ours is £20 a week on a prepay meter.it saves shocks like this.

 

3 bedroom bungalow , not massive just average size

And the bill is accurate

 

This time last year it was £426 ,the guy on the phone said they have raised there prices twice since feb 2008 thats why its so much .


My arsehole hurts

 

I've always thought ours is horrific, but some of the stories I have heard lately make ours look tame.

Two 4 week periods Dec-Jan and Jan-Feb, we used £110 worth of gas each and I thought that was alot. I do know someone who spent £800 in a quarter though.

Our's is a 3-bedroom detached bungalow by the way.

We're really looking at energy saving these days, we've made around 20% improvement in the last 12 months compared to the previous 12 months on our electric, but sadly gas is more difficult.

 

I think thats an horrific bill personally.

 

Beleve me so do i < real tears

 

Wow with a bill like that you'd have thought they would have sent out a tube of KY too!

 

to right thats bad,our £20 a week on prepay, regarded as more expensive to start with, is only £240 a quarter and we have a 3 bed, 2 floor house with 2 young kids and everything turned on all day long.
how can it possibly be £600? are you growing hash plants in your attic?

 

i thought mine was bad on pre paid meter at 20/25 week

 

My missus's uncle just had a bill for 27 days.......

It's a 5 bed house with small 1 bed flat and wing self contained...his bill was £993

apparently the heating was on alot lol

I think i'd die!

Spax

 

£993 for 27 days? id sell the place ,what a joke

 

ours is £55 a month 3 bed house, normally just leave the thermostat on 20 apart from in daytime when we leave it off unless really cold, its a combi boiler if that makes any odds

 

Same as us, ive just aranged for them to come and look at my boiler and service it etc £14 a month

 

Im with Eon

Ive just been and knocked off the gas central heating after reading that!

 

So have i now, makes you sick !! Thats a 2 week hoiliday in greece mate

 

I am so glad I fixed my tariff with British Gas in 2003/4 now.

I pay £24 per month for my gas and am in £40 credit ATM and pay £130 for my electric and am £156 in credit

 

just got mine from E on, pay 70 a month just got my bill 671 in the red,BANDITS.

 

Why do you want them to bum you again? A boiler service should be about £50 once a year.

 

how come in these times of recession with interest rates at rock bottom and fuel prices down a quarter since the summer are prices of everything else rocketing?
i hope people remember who the skanking bastards were when times get good again.

 

you do realise as soon as they look at it itll be sharp intakes of breath along with scratching of the head and "your going to need a new boiler"?

 

Ive just got my estimated Gas bill from British Gas, it was £418.78 for the last quarter, so i thought i'll read it and then pay over the phone there and then and it should hopefully be cheaper as they always over estimate! How fucking wrong was iIts now £469.83, that will teach me to be a smart arse, im off now to accuire someone elses meter for a "spare"

 

so thats a shade under a grand for 3 months gas usage, im on a pre pay meter with the boiler set to come on for 2 hours in the moring and on again for 4 hours of a night and i average £20 - £30 a week, so i cant beliveve teh bills you lot are getting

 

mine has just come in at £200 for the last 3 months. gas + electric.
Boiler serviced regularly tho.
3 bed semi.

 

Same here m8, we got a bill for £489 for the last quarter the wife thought fook thats high so she read the meter, phoned them with said reading only for the bill to go up by another £68, thats for a 4/5 bed detached chalet bungalow

Steve

 

what do you lot set your thermostates to?

our is set at 16 which is warm enough for us and we have a large 4 bed detached and our bills are quite low considering the size of the house

steve

 

fuck me i,d like some of your bills !!
my 3bed terraced , no central heating, gas fire, gas oven and hobs costs me 200 per month and has done for 6 months ! thats with eon too .

 

i get quarterly bills for home for 3.5k from n power

 

I'm also with EON.

I live in a small 2 bedroom flat, everything is electric and Economy 7 heating. I only have 1 heater on and thats in the livingroom.

My bill was £408 for the last 3 months! Couldn't believe it.

Have switched to EDF now, EON are a rip off, EDF only want £30 a month.

 

doh didnt read the post correctly

 

+1 but 18 deg instead of 16.....

 

I would be elated if they sent me a 400 quid bill

 

Do you live in a castle?

 

I dont understand some of the figures, I really dont. If your house is heat efficient it simply cant cost as much as some are paying. My house is a fairly large 4 bed detached & during that cold spell the heating was on 18 hours a day, when the Mrs was in the stat was set at 22 cos below that she aint happy. I payed 69 gas & 82 elec a month last year & this year its 88 gas & still 82 elec & they owe me money.

 

were with e on, gas bill for the last quarter was 118 quid and leccy was 100 and we thought this year that was expensive lol

stat is set at 17 degrees and its a 3 floor 3 bed house

Matt

 

ours is about 300-400
