A high energy user could be a large family of four or more people, living in a house with four or more bedrooms, who spend a lot of time at home. Want to find out what everything means on your energy bill? Read our guide to Understanding your energy bill. And if you want to cut your bill down to size, take a look out our hints and tips to save energy in your home. As well as the actual energy you use, your bill also covers things like running costs, pipes and cables — all the infrastructure that keeps gas and electricity flowing to your home.
Some of these are covered by our Standing Charge. And take a look at our How to compare energy suppliers guide. Your energy provider includes the government VAT on gas and electricity in your energy price per unit. If the government makes a VAT change, your energy bill will also change.
On a national level, here are average power bills by age group. So, the older you get, the less you pay for power? But also consider the other factors potentially impacting these costs.
For example, younger people may live in larger households with high electricity usage needs, while older energy customers are more likely to have solar systems installed.

Average energy bills are just that — an average reflection of what households pay to keep the lights on.
However, there are two main factors that determine the average costs mentioned above:. Or both! Most electricity providers publish helpful information in your bill statements, such as the actual amount of power used, what it costs, how your usage has changed over time, and how your usage compares to other customers in your area.

Keep in mind that costs can vary significantly between suburbs and household sizes, but this provides a helpful guide as to what you could be paying. But the good news is that — unless you are already on the best deal in your area — there are potentially big savings to be had by shopping around. To get a better-than-average power deal, you will need to be proactive. This means regularly comparing your options and being willing to switch to a better deal if it comes up.
