Gas Bill

[~Kim~]

sounds pretty good to me.
Our hot water was only set at about 40degrees. Ours was probably 115 a quarter?

Thanks for clearing that up ladies!
Dreading my electricity bill now, as we have central heating and apparently that could eat up ALOT!!!! We dont turn it on often but Sydney has had a few very very cold mornings!!!

Our gas bill per quarter is around $150 ... and our electricity bill per quarter (wait for it!) $600-$700 !!!!!! Our gas is hot water and cooking only. But I live in North Qld where we live with the a/c on 24/7 during summer. During winter our electricity bill drops down about half.

I didnt think there was gas in Cairns? MIL uses bottles I think

Our house is about 15 years old and we have a 100lt bottle, but I know my parents (around the corner) have a new house and they have a different set up though.

Ok, I know this is not strictly what this thread is asking but....

TRU send out a gas bill every 2 months and ours is usually between $120 and $200. Opened the bill a couple of days ago... $489!!!! Huh??? Then I noticed it says 'this account is based on an estimated meter reading'. So I rang TRU, who said that access at our property is difficult (it is) and that they have been estimating our bill since OCTOBER 2009!!! She couldn't explain why they had suddenly estimated that our bill was three times the usual cost, or what method they use for estimation. Anyway, I have refused to pay it until they come out and read the meter... a bit worried that we will get a bill for thousands of $$$ BUT told DH that I would rather pay more for the gas we have actually used than less for someone's random guesstimate.

Anyway... anyone else had trouble with the gas supplier 'estimating' usage??
