    Our gas is 250-300 euros every two mths. (in winter) Seems excessive.
    Gas heats the water and rads but we dont cook with it, we use Elec.
    Is this average usage?

    How much is your gas bill every two mths in winter?
    What size house have you? (ours is 3 bed semi)
    Do you cook with gas as well?

    Thanks

    €220 for a 2 bed house with 2 people. The heating is the only gas appliance.

    Yea seems about right €240.00 every 2 months - 3 bed terrace - insulated - heating and water and stove top cooking.

    Bill out during the week of 240. Last major bill before that was November I think. Gas used for heating and hot water, not cooking. Living in an apartment and heat rises from the floor below, so the heat might be on for 90 minutes a day in the coldest of winters.

    my last one was 346 - had a reading the other day and I reckon it will be at least 320, similar amount of units. My house is quite old and big rooms so it goes with the territory.
    Going to look into some extra insulation this summer.

    Mine is normally less than €100 (the most recent was €37). Two-bedroom mid-terrace.

    I'm quite miserly with the heating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    €170 Estimate (actual €140) for the previous two months. 4 Bed detached. No subsequent upgrades in insulation just additional jumpers LOL.

    Our last one (which took in christmas) was 365, 4 bed semi-D. Bill is always massive over christmas which is a sickner as I head home for the full two weeks as do two other house mates so its only one of the 4 of us racking up a lot of that bill.

    Our latest bill is down under 200 again thankfully and in the summer we get bills as low as 40 euro for two months.

    Gas heating only cooker and water are electric.

    €380 or something was my biggest this year. But I'm all electric, no gas or oil.

    Around the 300 quid mark in winter. Gas (condensing)boiler, one gas fire and cooker. House is still cold enough mind you. That's after over double the thickness of attic insulation(it's like an effin bouncy castle up there), double glazing and a few other insulation additions. It's in a cold spot. Never sees much of the sun between october and april which really doesn't help.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    No gas bill, have storage heaters here but I'm really reluctant to put them on because they are so expensive to run. Electricity bill is around €85 every 2 months for my 2nd floor 1 bedroom apartment, just me living here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,513 ✭✭✭✭Lucyfur


    All electric, €148 for the last 2 months. That's the highest it's been.

    3 bed detached bungalow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Sounds about right. 3 bed terrace, cooker is electric.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,931 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    about 60 euro for a 2 bed apartment

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    No. Im just wondering how bad our bill is compared to other people.

    We have double glazing - but wait for it ..... single glazed door.
    The walls are made of paper as well. So the heat just disappears through everywhere.

    To top it of the house isnt even that warm.

    Thankfully we are renting and wont be here for ever.

    Just a BS built house.
