I think the conversion shows that you have consumed 27500 kW/h of gas not 27.5 kW/h, is that right? This is would be about right for an imperial meter with 877 units.

I am not sure your electric charges are correct though, could you confirm what type of heating system you have? Could you also confirm whether or not the readings on your latest and previous bills were from actual meter readings or estimates. A very rough calculation (based on the quarterly bill being for 90 days) shows that you are consuming 60+ kW/h of electricity per day. Cannabis farm?

Hi, thanks, the heating is mix of electric underfloor heating and radiators. But 2 rads went out of action this winter and meanwhile i was using a 2kw fan heater as and when necessary in 2 rooms. The rads are now fixed. In terms of electric consumption the bill said i used 4851 kWh which was the difference of the 2 meter readings. Sadly I have all spotlights in the home and kids that leave lights on all over the place. I did the test where you flip the master circuit breaker to turn everything off, and i checked the electricity meter did stop. All my bills are based of actual readings, i send them back to the company when i get a text from them asking just before they bill.

Forget the lights the electric underfloor and convector are the real issues. Switch the underfloor off for a day and see what type of difference this makes.
