The typical home in Gedling used 2,500 kWh of electricity and 10,820 kWh of gas in 2024. Against the typical home across Great Britain, that is about the same electricity and 10% more gas.

Of 350 local authority areas in Great Britain, Gedling comes 188th for electricity use and 66th of 347 for gas, counting from the highest. These are medians: half the homes here use more and half use less. The mean is higher (3,222 kWh of electricity, 12,035 kWh of gas) because a minority of big users pulls an average up.

27% of electricity meters here are on Economy 7 or a similar day and night meter, against 12% across Great Britain. That usually means electric storage heaters or a hot water cylinder heated overnight, and it is worth checking your night rate is the one you are using most.
