Electricity with Southern Electric

I'm trying to work out if we have been stitched up with our electric bill through Southern Electric.

Is there anyone that can tell me what they use on average a day for a 2 bedroom house. Any feedback would be great!

    There is no 'average' for a 2 bedroom house. The average kWh in the UK (non-electric heating) is around 9 or 10kWh or around 3300kWh per year, however many households use more than this and many use less, as it is an average in the UK and so includes mansions with swimming pools and 1 bedroom bedsits.

    Stitched up in what sense? Do you mean you think the meter may be faulty?

    You need to provide more details about consumption and meter readings if you want a meaningful response

    another victim of estimated bills no doubt, and now the meter reader has a reading its bitten you on the !!!!!
    Pay up or if you think the meter is faulty, ring up SSE and ask to have a test done on the meter or a check meter installed to run along side the billing meter.

    How does having estimated bills make customers 'victims'??

    Well ok, perhaps "victim" wasnt the correct phrase, but so many people just carry on regardless with estimated bills and cant be bothered to actually check the readings, then get the shock of there life when a reading is actually taken and they realise that they have been hugely under estimated etc. and then try and blame the supplier!
