Gosh, all amounts quoted seem HUGE (apart from Badger). We do not have a pool and live in a smaller 2 bedroomed open planned house. We pay Enel approx 500 euros, 300 gas and 500 wood. Have noticed Enel prices were higher last year than the previous three years.....Do wear alot of clothes tho' !!!!!!!
