How many people are on this type of system?

Think the idea is to pay a fixed cost throughout the year so you overpay slightly in the summer to compensate for extra usage in the winter?

How much do you pay? 2 bed semi kinda size.

Is this done with gas and elec combined or with different companies?

Depends how you look at it Kano. I can watch Sky at work and the footie with my old man at the weekends by streaming video through Sky player.

Bear in mind, £20 of those charges are for line rental and broadband.

I'm curious what people pay for electricity and gas.

Well yea, my leccy:

Always on:
Router, fridge/freezer (small one), burglar alarm, power to boiler, extraction fans

On a lot of the time:
32"LCD, 19"LCD, 2 laptops, Xbox360

Ive found that by preparing how you are going to cook stuff as well has helped a lot, especially on all electric oven and hob.

For example, its very rare now that I need more than 1 hob for cooking an entire meal on for me and the missus, and obviously the more hobs you have on the more you use.

We dont have a tumble drier though, dont need it really, and when the washing machine goes on I try to use the 30c setting rather than 40 or 60, but if you have kids that get chocolate and all sorts of shit down white shirts and bibs you need a higher temperature

£30 gas
£30 elec
DD each month...in arrears on the gas, in credit on the elec. Hopefully now the warmer weather is here, the lack of heating will even out my gas overspend.

Thanks for the help guys

I suppose you never really can tell what itl cost until your moved in.

Do most companies do the regular payment thing?

Most do direct debits but a lot of them will require bills to be paid in full sort of thing, like my BT direct debit, it changes every month depending how many times my missus calls her mum before 6pm, think its only gas and leccy (probly water if you are on a meter) that do this overpaying thing and its the norm, most of them you just pay for your monthly usage
