All general questions and discussion related to energy
Hi AGL community,
I knew energy prices were going up from the beginning of the current financial year but my electricity bill has now tripled since we moved to the new address (e.g. used to pay about $180 per quarter and now being charged $540 per quarter).
I still live with the same housemate and our lifestyle hasn’t changed - is everyone experiencing the same?
I’m also being charged $800 per quarter for gas. We can’t afford to keep paying this much and may need to switch to a different provider.
Our details and large appliances below:
Household size: 2 adults
Work style: 1 partially working from home, 1 works in the office
Washing machine: twice a week
Dryer: once a week
Dishwasher: twice a month / rarely used
*we have other standard appliances - vacuum cleaner, microwave, oven toaster, oven
Would be great to know just the ball park for a two person household…at the moment we are being charged close to $1400 per quarter for gas and electricity.
Appreciate your support.
