Electricity Through The Roof?

[Greedyfly]

Hi guys. Just recieved our electricity and our bill has doubled from last time around. First six months it cost around �660 and this last six months it is now �1718.053 - they sometimes estimate usage but they have always over estimated so we never owe them anything, we have been with the company 7 years and our new price change (increase) contract hasnt come into effect yet. I can assure you we have not used anything more than we usually do and have no new appliances apart from a dehumidifier which according to Delonghi only cost �1.30 a day at the very most. We cant work out how we have 'used' this much electricity? Any suggestions?

Crikey, even �660 for 6 months is �110 per month which is way above what I pay! Do you live in a 10 bedroom mansion or something?

Is this new bill estimated or based on a meter reading? Can you ask them to check it?

I pay for 3 months in a 2up 2down semi �123.67 and I only just changed all my bulbs to the new low voltage ones 2mths ago to lower my `footprint` February -May was �283.65 a total of �407.32 for 6mths so check it out and ask what `readings` they are going by,

Check the reading on your meter and the estimate printed on your bill, if they are wildly different,call your supplier and tell them.

Sounds like you`re with npower! They`re not renowned for the accuracy of their bills.
