Oldham or South Shore

I have a tiny house. Two-up, two-down, town house. I haven’t had the heating on for a few months, now. I use gas to cook. My gas bill is still a fortune. That standing charge is a killer.

Also, when the price of fuel went down, why didn’t the standing charge go down too?

I've got a metre. Haven't topped up in a while as I haven't been using much. Got two letters from British gas this week asking if "I'm ok" because its been a while, like we're old mates. Bruv, cost of living crisis. I've been wearing jumpers and watching the neighbours TV through the window innit.

Dubai & Nottingham

Mine is so expensive , Just my daughter and her boyfriend in a 3 bed detached it’s costs me over 300 a month in winter down to about 200 a month in summer (gas & elec). In Dubai my gas is less than £50 a year and electricity and water combined with municipality & ice/air-con chiller is around £45 a month in total.

My gas bill for the last month was just under 30 quid. Massive difference now the heating is off! But a third of that is standing charges, which really pisses me off.

We pay £100 per month still owe £900 from winter. No cavity walls no double glazing. A long term gas leak has finally been found and fixed so may become manageable

How do you get that so cheap?

At one point about 18 months ago, my gas and electric was over 700 quid a month.

I've got it down to about 200 now.

Ah yes.

My friend said that he rarely had to put the heating on even in the winter, in a similar way in his apartment.

Had a heart attack like you, when I told him what I pay.

I don't live in a castle but I was also paying almost £700pm for gas and electricity

Managed to get it down to about £300. Still fucking hurts though!

I think it's about standard for a detached building unfortunately, it's probably my biggest expense

Slowly exploring the rabbit hole of off grid solutions..

I have oil. Oil comes with no standing charge

but you do have a delivery charge and you also need to purchase a tank every so often.

there is plans to enforce the enviroment protection around your tank if you dont have it you will have to fit one.

no cavity walls but do have d glazing fitted

refused a tariff only allowed normal tariff 400+ a quarter

that standared charge should be half what it is.

not much on the off grid solutions that can be picked.

if you went the old tank way heat water up and supply that for heating

you can go down the sand store way ( sand battery)

you can go down the rocket stove way to heat water a normal wood boiler chews through wood so does a downdraft boiler

5 logs for both of them compared to the rocket stove system that just uses 1 log

i will admit id probably keep the gas supply just for oven and hotplate

yes i could fit the composite insulation to the walls but if theres a fire you will loose your home

composite insulation isnt eco friendly and its toxic if set a fire
