DodgyRog Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi, I am Mrs DodgyRog and I work for EDF and when we calclate direct debits for customers we use their previous meter reads to estimate their usage for the following year. So N Power are saying that over the next year your average usage on a monthly basis will be around £94.00 per month. For Gas & Electric this seems about right and if you use more then at the end of the year they will probably just send you a bill for the remainder. Just bear in mind that things like Plasma Tv's & some lighting use lots of electric so dont leave Tv's on standby and dont over fill kettles etc.......Also take regular meter reads, so if you do use less than they think, it will benefit you the following year and this will stop you over paying.

Vicky Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 My gas is £41 a month and so is my electric so your price sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewm1965 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'd kill for £94 a month !! Last winter the gas bill was £300/month (yes month, not quarter) and the electric was £150/month !! That comes from having a big house and a cold wife. I have got double glazing on order and am in the middle of fitting a new high efficiency boiler, so hopefully things will improve.

Meko Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 My electric bill was coming out at around £75 a month, and that's with me being out of the house from 7am to 7pm.. Although having a 4ft tropical fish tanks, 8 snakes and 2 leopard geckos all with constant heating, didn't help much. Lets see what it is now all but 2 snakes have been sold.

RedM Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 We've just had a quarterly gas bill of just over £22 (£7.30 per month)! That's with BG although our electricity bill is always much high year round. In this instance is was £144 per quarter (£48 per month). Fair bit cheaper than your direct debit.

mathew Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 my first gas bill (the end of last year) came in at £490 for the quarted and that was with me not even living there. i had left the heating on constantly, didnt realise the cost it would amount to:D now my quarterly gas bill is £36. i had a bint from some gas provider knock the door the other day telling me how i could save £millions by switching over to them by cutting out cost x y and z which im currently paying (apparently) with my provider. so i showed her my bill and asked her excactly how much would i have saved this quarter?.......after a few minutes she replied with.........22p!!!!

Pete Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 That's about what ours is too. They doubled our DD at the start of the year. Nice thing is with petrol increases, food increases and energy amongst other things - I didn't get a pay rise this year because of "the credit crunch". Frankly I'm a peed off about the whole thing.
