    Hi AdamD

    Sounds like a catch up bill after a series of estimates.

    As others have said, check out the meter readings we’ve used. If we’ve billed from the correct start reading up to your latest readings, it’s likely the bill is correct.

    Talking to our consumption team is a good way to go. They’ll be able to give advice on where the electricity may be going.

    They’re also the team who arrange to fit check meters. These are fitted where there’s doubt about the accuracy of the existing meter. However, as Inspectorman says, if we fit a check meter and it turns out your existing meter is working ok, there’s a charge of £93.

    If the meter is faulty, there’s no charge for the check meter.

    Hope this is useful. Let me know if you need any more info as will be happy to help.

    Are you sure? No running hot water available? No washing machine? No cooking?
    I should add that there are times when I do not live in the flat at all. I still believe that I have low usage.

    Presumably to stop the place freezing up, you still need the heating on whether you live there or not.

    Unless you are away for prolonged periods, (i.e. weeks) you would normally leave the fridge on too else you'd have to empty it and throw away all the contents.

    And when you are there, what about running hot water as pooch enquires? Where do you do your washing?

    Have you ever considered being a politician. You appear to have the knack already ;)

    (If you were a politician, you presumably could claim all these expenses as your second home allowance :D)
