Fuel bill rant.
 

:RantOn:Ok, I don`t have big bills as I live alone and I control what`s used. My gas fluctuates between winter and summer due to heating requirements but my electric is pretty constant and hardly changes. My last quarterly bill for electric was £120......this quarter, similar usage, is £242...wtf? I know prices have increased but this seems ridiculous to me. Gas went from £60 for last quarter to £109 which is quite a hike for my usage but nothing compared to the electric hike:RantOff:

Put a cardi on.

It`s the electric I`m moaning about. I don`t use the heating much anyway. My last bill I`d used 802 units, this time 1605 :eek: My electric usage is always pretty constant / consistent but double the usage? I`d love to know what on.

Ouch....that's painful. I was mad this month as our combined gas and electric was £181, I don't feel as bad now!

£181 for a month????

Christ no, lol, I would be slitting my wrists if that was the case!

For the quarter!

Have you just come off a fixed rate etc or deal that's now finished and now on standard rate?

Oh right, was gonna say :lol1:

No, nothing has changed, that`s what I don`t get :confused:

Seems strange, I know the bills have gone up, but that's a hike, maybe neighbours have hacked into your lines lol

Something wrong there

I only pay 45 a month for my electric

Detached house with wife who lives on Facebook ,leaves the telly and hifi on in every room then spends hours cooking and hoovering

I`m gonna have to ring them tomorrow...it`s not right, can`t be.

Wouldn`t it be funny if I mis-read the meter with my old failing eyes :Suspiciou :lol1:

My quarterly gas and electric is £500

My electric is exactly the same as you , my bill has doubled this quarter !

I am pretty shrewd with my usage , however my 15year old daughter offsets this greatly :(

Jesus :eek:

Must be something wrong. I only have me to blame :lol1:

your not with npower by any chance are you? my direct debit got changed from 60 a month to wait for it ......

180 a MONTH !!!
months down the line my complaint was dealt with and said that they hadnt mis sold me the tariff like i had suggested but offered me a 50 quid goodwill gesture haha conmen !!!

Roughly 10 times more than mine!

It's ridiculous , I turned up our road , and I could see our house
Straight away , I'm not kidding , every light on , heating on
And guess what , no ones even in
I've moaned and shouted till I'm blue in the face , but all I get is I didn't leave em on
So I've now given up and said I'm not paying it
So the mrs and eldest daughter pays it and they still don't think about saving money ( even though its coming out their pockets )

I'm surprised you've not been dobbed in by the local helicopter police when they use that heat camera thingy. Your house must look like it's got a cannabis farm in the roof!

Lol that's seriously crossed my mind , I reckon the neighbours must
think we're a mad house or summat dodgy

Here's another ( not joking ) I walked in from work just before Christmas
And the back door was wide open , kitchen door wide open , living room door ajar , walked in and mrs was sat there ( fire nice and hot )
I said why are all the doors open
Reply " don't know but I thought It felt cold that's why I've turned fire up "

What can you say to that , hence I give up

:facepalm:

:D:D
Omg
Think you need to put a lock on the heating system and make them wear headband torches and make them wear extra pair of socks and thermals and a coat and hat in the house and no tv for a month as punishment

If they pay the bill they can do whatever they want , but I'm sure the time will come when they think hang on 2k a year ,

utter madness

No mate, I`m with Swalec. I`d never use NPower again, not even if they were the only suppliers...useless c**ts.

Global warming will save us, what will the fuel co's do though when we turn off the heating?!

TX.

This time last year my fuel combined bill was £15 A DAY.
The wife fecked off, 3 of my 4 sons got their own places to live.
I moved from a big detached house to an apartment and I now have peace and quiet and a fuel bill of £1.50 a day. :thumb:

Sounds like a plan :thumb:

:facepalm: :facepalm:

Gas and electric winter usage per month is about £160 here and closer to £100 a month when the heatings off between April - October. That's a terrace with solid walls so not the most energy efficient house.

Recently moved to a new house and seem to have used most if the tank of oil I filled in November- £600 worth. Ouch. Roll on warmer weather so I can turn the damn heating off!
That doubling of the bill does seem rather odd.
