Gas/elec Useage

[tali1]

Comparing my annual energy uesage from april to april with 2 suppliers inoticed that with my current supplier i used 33% more gas but 26% less electricity -is this normal or is there something wrong with the figures ?

How do you get your usage figures? Do you read your meters yourself or do you rely on the figures from your energy company. If the latter, there may be estimated readings involved. I always read my meters myself once a year and work out my own figures, which are fairly consistent.

[tali1]

They were the energy company figures.But anytime i checked myself they are 95% within the estimates.Besides - i have always been in debit at end of contract with suppliers but that issue doesn't really deal with the apparent anomaly of increase in one and decrease in the other

Have you changed your pattern of usage tali ? By this I mean have you eg been using gas instead of elect.for a specific thing,say putting on gas heating instead of elect. fire.?

[tali1]

No I can't say I have changed my useage.Always use central heating.

Overall, in monetary terms, are your bills still pretty much in line with past bills?

[tali1]

No they are higher.
