What’s the Average UK Energy Bill?

Average UK energy bills are high, but with Bunch you can track usage, split costs, and keep payments stress-free

Updated this week

At Bunch, we know energy costs are one of the biggest concerns for households. That’s why we keep a close eye on average bills across the UK and make sure you only ever pay for what you use through your Bunch account.

How Much Are Energy Bills Right Now?

The average energy bill for a 3-bed semi-detached house with an EPC rating of D is about £211 per month (£2,536 per year).

  • Homes with a higher EPC rating (A–C) are more efficient and usually cost less.

  • Homes with a lower rating (E–G) need more energy to heat and run, which means higher bills.

When you’re with Bunch, you can see your usage clearly in your Customer Portal and track how your household compares over time.

Why Does EPC Rating Matter?

Your property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy efficient it is, from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

  • Greener homes need less energy to keep warm and lit.

  • Less efficient homes cost more to run and produce more carbon emissions.

The UK average rating is currently a D, as many homes were built with older materials and insulation.

How Bunch Helps You Stay on Top of Bills

With your Bunch Portal, you can:

  • View your past and upcoming payments in one place

  • Track your usage (updated with your meter readings)

  • Submit readings easily to make sure bills are always accurate

This means you’ll always know if your energy use is trending higher or lower than average, and you won’t be hit with unexpected charges.

How Can I Save Money on My Bills?

Some small changes can help keep your bills down:

  • Adjust your boiler flow temperature

  • Close curtains and blinds at night

  • Use your smart meter (if you have one) to track usage

Bigger upgrades like improved insulation, double glazing, or installing a smart thermostat can also help reduce your bills — and your EPC certificate will suggest improvements that make the most impact.

What’s Happening with Energy Prices?

The energy price cap, set by Ofgem, limits how much suppliers can charge per unit. It’s reviewed every three months.

  • From July to September 2025, the cap is set at £1,720, a 7% reduction.

  • Prices may increase again later in the year depending on wholesale energy markets.

With Bunch, you don’t need to monitor supplier price changes yourself — we handle supplier communication for you, and you’ll see everything in one clear monthly payment.

  • The average UK energy bill is about £211/month for a typical 3-bed semi (EPC D).

  • More efficient homes cost less to run — greener homes save money.

  • Your Bunch Portal makes it easy to track usage and payments in one place.

  • Small daily changes and bigger efficiency upgrades can help cut costs.
