Hi Dave
That's cheap living there.I pay around 1000 € on heating and 214 € per months for electricity.So total is around 4000 € per year.That compared to your country living with lower gas price it's a big part of money we spent here.The electricity comes almost from one provider but since some years we have some others but they hold prices high same for communication .You guys sometimes complain but when I read this it's good living there at least for costprice of driving and living.Besides doctors,dentist and hospitalization all the rest is pricy.
