I am trying to find out roughly what an average years gas bill on 2 bed town house 2 adults I child with central heating boiler? as I have been issued with a £6400.00 bill for 2 years and I have been paying Direct Debit!

My daughter & b.friend live in a 2 bed townhouse and pay £27 pm gas DD - for cooking and central heating (she feels the cold so has the heating on a lot!) - she has an electric power shower.

If she was using the boiler to produce the hot water for the shower we estimated another £7.50 pm

Therefore total gas bill would be ~ £35 pm. or £420 pyear.

stressed1,

The first point to make is that an energy supplier should, by law, only charge you for the past one years worth of energy if they have failed to bill you correctly.

If you have been paying by MDD then you need to speak to the supplier to see how this bill has been produced and where the money has gone you've been paying over the past 2-years.

In terms of average energy bills, the average consumption in the UK is 20,500kwh gas and 3,300kwh electric per annum. Using current energy prices, this puts the average energy bill (standard tariff) at £1,350.

Hope this helps.

Hi Stressed

Maybe this a trend of British Gas...did you day £6,400.00 that's a hell of a lot of gas...definitely not correct, and you have been paying a monthly DDR....which you didn't say how much it is. You must complain and take this further, do not take a flimsy answer from BG, push hard but politely for a an answer to the high amount...read my post...'Loaning my money to British Gas!!'
