Fused Bills

Fused Bills: utility packages for student houses

Fused Bills is a British service aimed at university students and recent graduates that bundles the utilities of a shared home into a single monthly payment. The idea is to contract energy, broadband, TV, and water through a single managing provider, so tenants don't have to open separate accounts or call each company. The company presents itself as an alternative to reduce administrative burden and conflicts between housemates when splitting expenses.

What a Fused package includes

The catalogue is built around four services that the customer can combine according to their needs:

• Unlimited energy: offered as a standard option in all packages. The company compares it to an unlimited mobile data plan: there is no consumption limit or hidden charges, although there is also no refund if you use less. It is sold with 12-month contracts and a fixed tariff for students and graduates.
• Broadband: high-speed connection through providers such as Sky, Virgin Media, or BT, with full-fibre (FTTP) options from Virgin Media. The user chooses the speed based on the number of housemates and expected usage.
• TV: TV packages, including Sky, with the option to add a TV licence.
• Water: water billing integrated into the monthly payment to avoid additional management.

Contracts tailored to renting

The company allows the contract length to be adjusted to the tenancy, with variable or fixed tariffs of 9, 10, 11, or 12 months, so you only pay for services during the occupancy period. Payment is split among the tenants, and each one enters their own payment details. Fused handles setting up the utilities, arranging router delivery, and making phone calls to suppliers on behalf of the customer.

How it works and management

The process starts with a quote request that the company estimates takes about two or three minutes. The user can generate multiple quotes to compare options and share them with housemates before finalising the sign-up. No payment is made until the tenants have moved in. Once the service is active, the customer has a dashboard from which they can upload monthly meter readings and received bills. The company also manages changes in the group of tenants, such as a housemate leaving, after notification and, if applicable, documentary proof.

Cost structure

The final price depends on the services contracted and the number of tenants, so there is no single tariff. The company breaks down the calculation into three components: unlimited energy, chosen services, and a management fee. The total household amount is divided among the housemates to get the individual monthly fee. The management fee covers opening accounts, calling suppliers, preparing the router, and customer service; according to the company, for an average house of four students it equates to approximately £1.03 per person per week.
