£900 is the average for a detached house, £800 for a semi-detached.
You're not that much above that. Mind you, I don't know what type of house you live in.

Its not ridiculous. We spend £150 month combined and we switch to the best deals wherever possible. Its rip off britain and Mr brown should tighten the laws but wont because they make money off the taxing of our spends
That's quite a lot, I think m,ine is pretty bad (my father's fault - he has multiple freezers, huge fridges and uses electric heaters everywhere instead of putting the GCH on).
But even that's only £50 a month. Electric hob / oven by any chance? Dryer? There must be something pulling kw's and that's always something that gets hot.

I only spend £28ish a month on electricity. but then I'm only in a one bed flat. Sounds like a lot of electric to me. energy saving bulbs and switching things of.

3 Bed terraced. 2 Adults.
£95/month. Worked out winter usage and we owe about £25, so should end up in a fair bit of credit come summer.
£95/month is combined elect and gas. Heating/water is gas.

That does sound rather high, you’ve not got something like an immersion heater on all the time have you?

I need to look into our BT bill as well... That's £46 a month, and we hardly use it

Economy 7 and run all the heavy use items at night (Dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer)
Fit energy saving bulbs everywhere. Turn things off including your computer when it isn't in use. Oh and whilst you're at it insulate the loft with Space Blanket and fix and drafts.
By doing these we have made some good savings on our bill. Also switch suppliers.

The 6 winter months cost me £704.
I have no central heating, so open fire in the living room and oil filled rads in the other rooms, although I have an electric mica panel heater in the living room.
