I live in ireland my winter electricity bill is approx 120 euros per month. My heating and hot water runs on oil we fill the tank about 4 times a year with 500 euro each time. We also have a solid fuel stove which gives out great heat we use that for the winter starting around november to march and that cost approx 60 euro per month. So all in all our combined monthly outgoings on fuel, oil and electricity are 347 euros

we use oil - electricity is quite expensive in comparison but it costs approx Â£300 or about 600 dollars for the winter and autumn months.

Heating oil mainly in Ireland, or gas. Not usually electricity.

don't believe that oil and gas are the only sources of heating, because all new apartment blocks ( which almost outnumber houses now in Dublin) run on electric storage heaters.. oil is very expensive and people are changing to cheaper options.. although Gas prices jumped 33% last year and there are 2 tarriffs, which apply.. summertime is cheaper to run heating for hot water and obviously winter time is more expensive because everybody uses more fuel and power to heat homes as opposed to summertime.. everyone else has given you their average expenditures, which is similar to mine..

I think a lot depends on how well insulated one's house is, also the number of folks living there. Why don't you try the Central Statistics Office in Dublin, they have just published their report on all aspects of Irish life. Also, somebody had just made a major breakthrough on alternative electricity in Galway, wave power maybe, we live in hope.

I also live in Ireland and my winter electricity bill is approx â‚¬85 per month. My heating and hot water runs on a wood pellet system which we fill about twice a year at â‚¬510 each time. We also have a solid fuel stove which I do not use much now and it ran on turf/peat anyway which we cut ourselves so was free.So our monthly bill comes in at â‚¬165 which I think is rather good.My house is an extremely well insulated 5 bedroom dormer bungalow.
