Business Gas Meter Reading Problem

grahann

Recently had a massive gas bill of about £10,000. Our normal quaterly bills average a few hundred but this is crazy. We haven't used any more gas than usual and there are no leaks. I think the problem is that the meter is hard to get to and hard to read and that a proper reading hasn't been taken since before we changed suppliers and possibly before I was responsible for the bill. I think it's all one 'BIG' digit out.
Any suggestions???? Help!

Read the meter and check it to the bill.

If you've not been doing this yourself with recent bills (which you suggest are all estimated), this could be the catch up bill ... and the wake up call.

Remember suppliers only have to read/check gas meters every 2 years.

As a business you should be more aware than a domestic customer about the need to check invoices are not based on estimates but actual readings. Have your last 1/2/3 bills been based on actuals or estimates?
