Is there an age limit on electricity meters? My electricity usage appears to have saored recently even though I am sure I am actually using less. I know I can have a check meter fitted for �80, but my meter is now 10 years old. could this have anything to do with it?

My meters are at least 30 years old, so it is doubtful.

Can you compare your bills from 12 months ago to prove you are using more?
The easy answer is contact your supplier and express your concerns. Bear in mind tho that prices have gone up, so it could be genuine. I have fitted out all my lighting with low energy bulbs, which are cheap to run, but I am having to pay more.
three years ago , in the summer month , i was using about 9-10 pounds per week , on the electricty meter ..and i was hardly there , at the 1 bedroom flat , they are simply there to m ake money , utility companies ,.... depending on size of house/flat ....... a guideline is �10 - �18 per week ... for electricity ,,..in hte flat that i was using there was no gas ....
Don't change to a meter - it will certainly cost you much more. In fact it can cost up to �280 per year more than paying for it by DD.

You could ask to have your meter checked but prices did rise at the end of April and by quite a substantial amount
