Please could people post their average monthly gas and electricity bills based on two people living in a three bedroom house?
Many thanks,

I'm back in a flat now but my last place (such as yours) was circa £100 PCM

Ours is a fixed £115 a month for dual fuel. I work from home so I dunno if that bumps it up from what it would be your average out-of-the-house-all-day couple. I also live on the Isle of Wight so I guess my central heating gets used less than if I lived on the Isle of Skye.

2.5 people, 3 bed semi - ~£60/month leccy and gas. (wood burner with free wood subsidises the gas bill substantially - only pay ~£10 per month for gas)

2 people, 3 bed semi, about £70/month

60 quid a month in total, two of us and a baby, decent sized 3 bed house and quite often work from home.
I fitted a remote wireless thermostat to the central heating, made a big difference in gas usage compared to just running it on a timer.
We're also terrace which I think makes it cheaper than a semi.

2 dudes, 2 bed flat, £70 for G&E. Was £120 and now they owe us about £500!

2 of us in a 2.5 bed terrace about £80 a month, I think.

Makes a huge difference if the house is empty all day (ie heating off) and also the insulation/build quality. I'd agree with above, £75-150 is the range

We had a similar situation and they (slightly grudgingly) refunded us, rather than using the deficit to offset future bills, which they wanted to do.
2 people, 2 bed end terrace, £70 per month.

2 guys sharing a 3 bed end terrace, was about £100pm.
We've just had another house built, so it's now a mid terrace and its about £80. We also had the wall insulation done which made a big difference. Expecting the G&E bill to go down even more once its fully built as all the tools are being run from our house.
& we have a lot of electronic gizmo's!

mines about £75/month, I'm on my ow, but its badly insulated.

3-Bed (one is more of a box room, my office), 2 guys, detached house, 1980s build, not very well insulated, has cavity walls dowstairs but tiles on the upstairs, rather than a second brick layer :o(.
I'm pretty interested to see how other people compare...According to British Gas's on-line bill tracker thing, we use less gas (about 10%) than most, as I'm pretty stingy on the heating ;o).
However, we use more electricity (about 15%), I can only assume its because we both run quite high powered PC's, everything else in the house is low powered/energy saving...Electricity (we pay $40 direct debit a month) appears to be a max of £150 a quarter, to no lower than £130.
Gas (We pay £41 direct debit a month, but usually have to pay a top up for winter) is more changeable, obviously, so for this year it is:
jan-march is £200, april-jun is £85, jul-sept is £70, oct-dec is £135...Posted 4 months ago # -
1 bed house in woking mid 80's - 2 people + cat
all electric inc heating (no gas) - £59 a month - though that when up since our extra economy eco7 timer when mad.. must replace that to stop the hotwater tank cycling though the night..

Really? I just checked, £460... that could get a frame I spotted over there ---->

Never had a problem getting a refund when we've been in credit. THey do try to make our monthly payments lower but if you ring them and ask them HAVE to give you any credit back

Average - hard to tell without a pen and paper. summer - 20 for elec, 30 for gas. Winter 40 for elec, 60 for gas.

2 adults 2 kids in a three bed semi here , we pay £80 a month and they usually end up giving us a bit back after the new tax year has started. There's someone in nearly all day as I work full time mornings and MrsCarlos does part time in the afternoons we can split childcare for minicarlosmk2.

Last night I gave them some meter readings, which brought the excess down to ~£300. We'll probably swallow up another £100 of that over the course of the next three months, but they are sending me a cheque(!) for £150

2 people in 3 bed 1920s terraced house here
~£70 - £100pm in winter months
~£20 - £40pm in the summerdepending on how much we are in and the weather...
FWIW, I'm on a £90pm DD with British Gas for both leccy and gas and they normally end up owing me a few hundred by the end of the year.

On average: 2.5 people, 2 bed three story house, £65PCM for both.
This is an average across the year.
Two wood burners help keep the cost down but we run a storage heater 365 days a year in our office/cellar.
End terrace cottage.

We pay about £50 for gas and £59 for electricity from BG, and despite much measuring, uplugging and switching things off I have absolutely no idea where all that electricity goes as we use gas for heating. I suspect most of the rest of the street has tapped into our meter
