Looking for some comparisons before I phone to ask questions...
Got a new meter installed in February - moved from prepay to standard meter. Prepay was costing less that £50 per month (I topped up £49 every month and then every 4/5 months there was enough credit built up that I could miss a month). Since installing the new meter I am paying more than £50 per month - closer to £60.
Taking into account the difference in the tariffs it appears that my usage has gone from ave 4.5kwh per day (November to February) to 10.5kwh average per day from February to mid-August. Just done a reading today and the average is now sitting at 8.5 per day. This is for a 2 bed flat, electric used for all cooking but no heating. That said, we were using the electric immersion/fan heater over some of the summer which would explain some of the increase - but neither have been used since the end of July. No change in tumble drier/washing machine/dishwasher usage.
The figures for the last month are really concerning me - we were away for two weekends of the month so no use at all (most of our cooking is done at weekend) and there has been absolutely no use of immersion/fan heater in that time. I've also returned to work after the school holidays so no daytime weekday usage - in Scotland so the lights had to be on a fair bit during the day!
Can anyone suggest why my usage looks like it may have doubled? There were huge issues with the meter install and the initial readings; I am now questioning whether it is working correctly.
