@RHYS -> Please at least try to make it onto the third line of a thread before posting an inane irrelevant reply.

I'm so sorry Jas, i just wondered why they were voluntarily paying 28.8p per unit. If they are genuinely using 27 kw/h per day of electric then switching to a tariff, of which there are many, much less in price will help to lower their bills. Won't it? How then was my response irrelevant?

Living in a flat you could have crossed meters. Check if the meter number is on your bill then check it the same has the meter you are reading. You need to find out if your supply is actually comming of of that meter.
As the flat got any landings or is it above a shop. Communial or outside lighting may could be comming of of your supply.

Your response is irrevelent because if you have read the whole of the origional post you would know that the third sentence down says they have switched to npower.:cool:

Butting in to your argument, yes I'm with nPower now and it's a little over 10p a unit: much better!
I'm going home for 5 days over Christmas, and I'm going to turn off the circuit-breaker when I leave. I need to defrost the freezer anyway!

It's a maisonette, not a large apartment block. My meter is in my garage, which is under the building, next to my downstairs neighbour's garage (it's on a hill, so trust me, this isn't architectural witchcraft)
When I turn off the circuit-breaker (assuming I find one) I'm going to take a reading.
I'm also going to take one on my return. It shouldn't increase even a little bit, should it?

I turned the circuit-breaker off and left the flat for 10 days.
Before I left, the meter read 514
On my return, it still read 514.

My money's on a dodgy thermostat on the immersion heater, or its inherent power-hunger.
