Adawn47 Posted October 29, 2022 #39502 Share Posted October 29, 2022 1 minute ago, wowzz said: Avril, that seems exorbitant. Our monthly standing order is £35 per month, which will incease to just over £50 from November. That is for basically for the same appliances as you, but two freezers, and using a tumble dryer twice a week or so in the winter. However our hot water is gas heated, which could explain some of the differential, but it still seems a high figure. There are 4 of us wowzz so the shower, washer and cooking is obviously double, and they do pay towards the bill. Your gas water heater will make a difference as mine is heated with the solid fuel. It's been about 15 years since I had a monthly bill as low as yours. Do you have gas central heating? Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose air conditioning is not a regular feature in UK homes and the winters aren't as severe as here.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest one, but only 26 days, was £133 before the £66 discount. After what I was expecting, I'll take it. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely day here in Rhodes today mid twenties and sunny, it’s a lovely town.

I would think that your total gas and electricity versus my electricity and solid fuel costs would be much the same if either of us had the time or inclination to work out😁 However, as long as they are paid, I'm content.
