Thank you to Chris so true.

We have recently had a new meter fitted as the old one was retired from a mechanical one to a digital one.

I would say the readings are in line with each other. We have a medium 4 bed 20 year old house, with energy saving bulbs wherever posible and most non essential items off when not in use, all appliances are A rated or above i.e. we are careful. Two near adult children. Our annual consumption is 7200Kwh 20 per day.

Lo/hi range during the year ex holidays 99/160 or 14/23 per day. October averaged 16 per day.

If you have any doubts of you utility meter, or you would like to monitor your usage more closely, I would recommend looking at the options from EKM Metering.

I used their Omnimeters to monitor a few rentals of mine and was very happy with it, as well as their technical support. Its the best deal for a remote-readable meter that I was able to find.

It has an accuracy of something like .5% so will be able to tell you if your utility meter is giving you incorrect statements.

Anywho, hope this helps.
