Think we are getting a good deal.

We got charged for sewage for ages until I spotted it on the bill - we have a sceptic tank! Immediate refund but think they were trying it on.

Just U switched to Eon and combined were at £120 a month, too early to say whether we're in credit though - 3 bed semi and a shed load of washing machine activity!

Now sorted, lol, Gas 32, leccy 25, full homecare agreement reinstated and all white goods covered as well. When I sign up for the Click online BG thingy I should save even more apparently. Groovy

Having switched from British Gas (gas and electricity) to Eon in April, I recently received my first statement after they supposedly recently read both my meters. I had been paying £35/month by direct debit.
They reckon I've used £128.72 of electricity in 4 months of Summer.
But here's a good one..........
Apparently in the same period I've used £3,374.00 of gas and my account is in debit by £3,201.04.
I don't run a hotel but in fact live in a small 2 up 2 down.
Needless to say the direct debit was promptly cancelled (they've since sent me a letter to say I won't now be receiving my direct debit discount).
I had resisted all the guff about how "making the switch can save you hundreds a year" and been with British Gas for 10+ years. At over £750/month at Eon's rates, BG look pretty good at the moment.

Make sure you take your own meter readings!

4 bed detached, 3 inhabitants.
Gas = £540 annually on a fixed price with BG, = £45 pcm
Electricity = £770 annually = £65 pcm.

Electric: £105

So £160 a month through the summer.

I have just tried USwitch but the only ones that are cheaper is Npower and eon. Is this a normal amount to use anyone else know what they are paying.

We are due them £800 because our DD payments have been set to £55 for our electic bill.

£70 / month for both, and we're overpaying
3 bed detached, 3 people, 2 businesses

Blimey, I may need to review our energy consumption. We run at about £300 a month for gas and electric (5 bed detached) - perhaps it's time I worked out where it goes!
