We are on a DD of £120/month (combined gas and electric), so £360 a quarter.
But we went onto Octopus in September, and now have a credit value on the account of £338. Which suggests we should probably be on about £70/month DD.

Going through £10 a day g&e so roughly £1120 per quarter. Prepay probably isn't helping. 2 bed semi, 2 teen daughter's and heating on 19c from 4pm to 10pm. The living room is an icebox.

About £200 a quarter over winter. Will drop once it warms up.

About 265 per month for both so something like 800 per quarter, small 3 bed house with 1 person working from home most of the time. The heating is pretty much always on.

About £750 for the quarter for gas and electricity. Three bed detached, three adults, including one wfh.
Our biggest savings are on electricity - tumble dryer unplugged, minimal use of oven, and a bit on gas - I laid an extra 150mm of insulation in the loft last year.

98 monthly DD for both Gas and Leccy.
Was 115 until 2 months ago, but Shell reduced it as I was over £200 in credit.
One person and 2 Cats
in a 2 bed ground floor flat.
I work away from home usually 6 days a week, heating is on at 18C max from 5pm till 10pm.
I do like baking, my electric oven is very old, probably not energy efficient, but the gas combi is only 2 years old.

I personally couldnt cope with it being on at 17/18, it would be like sitting in the street. Mine is on at 25, nice and toasty.The cats like it warm.

I wear multiple layers to feel comfortable at 17/18 C. At 25 C, I would have to be stripped down to near naked!

Bad enough paying the fuel charges. I resent paying 33p per day standing charge for gas and 50p+ per day for electric standing charges. Equates to over £280 per year for the "privilege" of having gas and electric meters in the house.

Good God. You must wear a scarf in the sauna.
I've not seen my cat trying to mess with the thermostat yet so he must be fine.

There's a lot of infrastructure to pay for somehow. You could go off grid but it would cost a lot more.
