Gas and electric bills

[Miss-taken]

I moved into my new house at the beginning of June and have just received my first gas and electric bills for the quarter. My house is 1 one bedroomed (bedroom and bathroom upstairs and kitchen and lounge downstairs) and I use gas to cook (hob) and to heat the water tank for about an hour a day (as its been summer - no central heating used yet!). My gas bill was about �7 and my electric �50. I provided the start and end meter readings for both so I know they are correct but these bills seem ridiculously low!
I obviously don't want to contact the power company and volunteer to give them more money but could they have wrongly calculated the bills (they were both re-issued anyway due to me submitting actual meter readings) and will they have any future comeback if there does turn out to be a problem with them?

if you feel you need to check call them and ask if they are correct go for it, just keep a record of names and dates etc
other than that keep quiet and enjoy the savings

The gas won't be much because cooking/HW doesn't use much compared to CH. However �7 doesn't even cover the average standing charge. You could roughly work it out yourself. Prices do vary across the country and are different from each supplier, but if you used 14p per day fixed charge for gas and the same for electricity, then priced at 8p per Unit for the electricity on your own meter readings, and 80p per Unit (100cubic feet) on your gas meter readings it should give you a rough idea if its OK.

Thanks for that - have just looked at my bills again - I haven't been charged standing charges - its even printed 'no standing charges' on the bill!
