Re: Gas prices

Just checked my standing charge for my gas and electric meters. Both are with British Gas.
Electric 54.2p a day.
Gas 37.5 a day.
£335 a year just on standing charges. Is this the norm?

Re: Gas prices

Seriously, I appear to be going through about £6 per day, that's with my heating set at 19 degrees and not cooking more than I need to with my gas oven.
I have a small 2 bed house, this is utterly insane.

Anybody got any tips on what to chec like boiler settings or something?

Surely this can't be right?

With SSE by the way....

I think everyone is paying around twice what they were paying last year?

Gas standard tariff has gone up 141% since last October so thats more than double, and if you were locked into a good deal previously and now out of a deal it would have more than likely than trebled. Quadrupled if people had an excellent deal before October 2021 and that deal has run out.

I was paying £108 in total for gas and electric pre all these increases (and I was in credit by £150 for the year so probably should have been paying around £95) and now im paying £280 before take off the governement help so yeah, practically trebled.

Re: Gas prices

Everyone I know/ speak to is struggling/worried with these energy prices. Many are substantially reducing usage/ wearing coats etc in the house, living in 1 room.
Not sure it's meant to be like this in 2022. People will die.
I dont understand how there haven't been riots.

Re: Gas prices

For some perspective the cost of gas here in Poland has increased 8.5x within the last 9 months & electricity has increased by 3.5x

Sorry for being a thicko here Des.
Has your gas gone up by 8.5% or 8 and a half times what it was?
