Sorry I meant why not turn it up, you'll pay less to run it.That's why it's a beer fridge, that's not even the coldest setting. That's on 4 out of 5, 5 will get it almost freezing.

That defeats the point then. Whole point of a subcold fridge is low temps for drinks. Only have it going for the warmer months. Right now looking at the meter is showing 67w, it varies a lot but that's the lowest I've seen 250w must be when both fridges and freezers are on.Sorry I meant why not turn it up, you'll pay less to run it.
Ouch. I’d be surprised if I’ve spent more than £20.£135 for electric this month not including standing charge!
Won't they just estimate it.Haven't paid a penny since November. Loving my broken smart meter.
They would then he would get a massive bill once its corrected more than likely depending on what the issue is with the meter in the first place.Won't they just estimate it.

You're gonna get a nice bill soon enough.Haven't paid a penny since November. Loving my broken smart meter.
Based on what usage (in kWh) and unit prices?£150 per month, gas and electric, family of 4 adults, loads of electrical devices
No idea, smart meter, British Gas for both electric and gas, top up online weekly, Mrs deals with itBased on what usage (in kWh) and unit prices?
£/month isn't much use as a comparison when those on SVT might be paying double the unit rates of someone on a historic fixed price tariff.No idea, smart meter, British Gas for both electric and gas, top up online weekly, Mrs deals with it

Keep in mind the suggestion is also Including the rise in a few months of around 20% as its looking at a full year's period. Also as your probably aware the energy company's are putting DD up more than they should be which they are getting in trouble for.I've just seen my first full month on the new tariffs bill. Previous bill was £126.45, this last bill is £165.33. Not as bad as I was expecting. Shell is still saying my direct debit should be £205 though, I have no idea where they're getting that number from. It's currently at £177 and based on last winters gas units, that'll still put me in credit by the end of the financial year.
Details for those interested.
Flat, 2 adults.
Shell Flexible 7
Elec: 28.408p kWh (standing 51.62p)
Gas: 7.476p kWh (standing 27.22p)
You're paying around the price cap for gas (more on the standing charge) and considerably less for electric. If you were paying price cap rates your monthly would be nearer £200 than £150.so i looked
Electric Now - 21.210p
Standing charge - 28.410 inc VAT daily
Gas - Now - 7.380p
Standing charge 37.275 inc VAT daily
i have since edited as it was wrong, now is correctYou're paying around the price cap for gas (more on the standing charge) and considerably less for electric. If you were paying price cap rates your monthly would be nearer £200 than £150.
People questioning why their monthly payments are being requested higher than current use, should consider that April/May isn’t typical use for all months of the year.Keep in mind the suggestion is also Including the rise in a few months of around 20% as its looking at a full year's period.
