What is the difference between gas and electricity?

Gas and electricity are two different types of energy sources used in homes. • Gas (usually natural gas) is commonly used for heating, hot water, and cooking. • Electricity powers lights, appliances, and electronics, and can also be used for heating and hot water in electric-only homes. • Electricity is generally more versatile but tends to be more expensive per unit than gas.

What is the best provider of gas and electricity?

The best gas and electricity provider in the UK depends on your location, usage, and preferences. Popular and reliable energy suppliers include: • Octopus Energy – known for customer service and green tariffs • British Gas – long-standing, wide coverage • EDF Energy – strong fixed-rate plans • E.ON Next – competitive prices and green energy • OVO Energy – flexible tariffs and smart tech To find the best provider, it’s wise to compare prices using Ofgem-approved sites like Uswitch or Compare the Market.

How much is the gas and electric service charge?

The service charge (also known as the standing charge) is a fixed daily fee you pay to have access to gas and electricity, regardless of how much you use. • For electricity, the standing charge in the UK typically ranges from £0.40 to £0.60 per day • For gas, it’s around £0.25 to £0.35 per day • These charges may vary depending on your supplier and tariff. They are included in your total energy bill.

How do gas and electricity bills work?

Gas and electricity bills are usually calculated based on: 1. Unit rate (price per kWh used) 2. Standing charge (daily fixed fee) 3. VAT (5% added on domestic energy) Your supplier uses meter readings (actual or estimated) to calculate usage. If you’re on a fixed-rate tariff, your unit rate won’t change for a set period. On a variable tariff, rates can go up or down based on the market or price caps.

What are the new rates for gas and electricity?

As of April 2025, the Ofgem energy price cap for standard variable tariffs is: • Electricity: around 24 pence per kWh • Gas: around 6 pence per kWh • Standing charges vary but generally remain in the ranges mentioned above. Always check the latest update on the Ofgem website or with your energy supplier, as prices change every quarter.

Is a gas bill cheaper than electricity?

Yes, gas is usually cheaper than electricity in terms of unit cost. On average: • Gas costs about 6–7p per kWh • Electricity costs around 24–30p per kWh • However, total costs depend on usage. Homes that rely solely on electricity may have higher bills, especially in winter. That’s why many UK households use a combination of gas and electricity for cost-efficiency.
