When you go to compare gas and electricity you will sometimes be asked what type of energy user you are.
It’s all very well being asked if you are a ‘low’, ‘medium’ or ‘high’ user, but what do these terms mean when talking about how much you currently pay out for your energy?
Here are the definitions of each type of user according to Consumer Focus, the new consumer champion formed by the joining of past consumer groups including energywatch.
Low user
You will be classed as a low user if you usually spend £15-£27 per month per year on one fuel. This works out to £180-£320 per year.
Medium user
Medium users generally spend £29-£44 per month on one fuel. Over a year this would equate to £350-£530.
High user
If you spend £45-£61 per month on one fuel, you would be defined as a high user. During the year, a high user would spend £540-£730 on one fuel.
