I'm openingabottleofwine.
When I am at home my audio system is on for about 12 hours a day (either listening to the radio, or playing music). It is powered by a 50W/channel amplifier.
All the lightbulbs are LED types and I have a freezer which is in a cupboard, so is not working under the best of conditions.
Total fuel bill (electricity and gas) is £2K per annum.

So, at 33p per kWh, if the primaluna is 0.3kw and I have it on for 10 hours that would equate to around a quid ?

I'm Mike.
so i'm in a 2 bed detached, it has a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and a basement, the wall and loft are insulated and i have a reasonably new boiler, my house isn't huge by any stretch of the imagination, but Shell energy recon i need to pay £340 a month, daylight robbery, they also say my smart meter has stopped sending them info which is strange as it seems to be working fine.
my thinking is they are asking more from people that can pay to cover for the probable millions that can't, so they then hold onto this over payment from the people that can, while they recoup the money from the folks that can't, i hope this makes sense. I can see loads of people over paying for energy over the winter and into next year, then having one hell of a time trying to claim it back.
Just a thought.

Mike unfortunately I think there is probable truth in this.
We pay monthly for what we use. I haven't worked out the figures for the rises but we use the minimum equipment, LED lamps and one fridge freezer.
The house is well insulated, we chose triple glazing when we had new windows but I am certainly not paying a fixed figure every month where the energy company profits from it.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

I'm in a 1930s semi, good windows, modern combi boiler etc. 2 adults, 1child, 1 vathroom, 1 fridge, gas cooker.
I'm struggling to understand the disparity in costs between similar families. My hifi is the one thing I have different from my work colleagues. They're all paying around 250 a month.
Oh, also...I have a 15 yr old Panasonic 37" plasma TV which I'm told uses a lot of power?

plasma will use about 200watts; maybe more as its old.. they are several times worse than leds. often 30's semis are bigger rooms with higher celings; my mums 30's house took a lot of heating compared to place im in now. it will all add up but i think they may be over estimating your use. depends on old historical use i'd think.

it's weird for a country (UK) that has an abundance of North Sea gas we are paying much more than our neighbouring EU countries some of which (Germany) don't have gas as a natural resource and have historically bought much of this from Russia.
i can't help feeling that we are being taken for mugs
