My wife and I make a decent income between the two of us, and we nearly froze to death winter before last! £500pcm+ to keep our house at like 10°C, absolute madness.
That's wild, how big is your house? My monthly spend on heating is 1/4 of that during winter to keep it at 21.
Single glazed everything, shoddy extension that's falling to bits, and no insulation anywhere, 12ft ceilings and also our boiler is shit. It's a two bedroom Victorian terrace, ground floor. Fighting with Edinburgh Council to get approval for a much needed renovation, but even though the category of listing our home is literally only covers the front facade, our really quite modest renovation plan would "be a detriment to the character of the neighbourhood". Our upstairs neighbour also paid significantly less that winter...but they got approval to rip all their floors up and install insulation and double glazed windows.
That's rough :(
