    Another dumb question you'll've already checked: does it change more when you do have the heating on? It is reading your boiler?
  • yes it goes faster when heating is on so im wondering if the pilot light is badly adjusted
  • I have a new meter that seems to go round the numbers fast - in a month i have used a similar amount of units as i did in 6 months at old house (6 months inc last winter)

    I made a thread here but i still wonder if the new meters do something differently - if not i used £170 gas in 1 month :o
  • maybe it is these new meters.Icontacted British Gas a couple of days ago and they weren't very helpful.it just seems strange that my usage has rocketed since the new meter was fitted. im not cooking more and i only use the heating for about 2hours in the evening
