Utilities in Debrecen, Hungary

In the past few years the utilities have become more expensive (not only in Hungary). Costing almost as in western countries.

Gas is mainly used for cooking and heating.  The gas supplier in Debrecen is TIGAZ (http://www.tigaz.hu/).  The bills are monthly estimates with meter readings taken only once a year and a bill sent out for any outstanding payments or you can report each month your meter reading (online, phone) and pay as much as you use. I would advise to report each month and no surprise bill at the end of the year or at the end of your rental contract.

Electricity is mainly used for lighting and household appliances. The electricity utility company in Debrecen is E.ON (http://www.eon-hungaria.com/en/).
