Really confused
I was talking to my neighbour the other day about gas & electric bills and found out that there's is ALOT lower than mine. There is 4 of them in 1 property and 3 in another and in mine it is just me by myself. I have all energy efficient appliances that are all turned off when not in use. I am 21 and have only lived alone for last 2 months. My neighbours electric bill was £40 for the quarter and mine was £160 any advice.

Gas or electric heating? Immersion heater on all day?That gum you like is coming back in style.0

It is possible the meters are mismatched (but unlikely). Easiest way to check is with a friend, two mobile phones and a kettle.0

Alternative possibilities: you have a catch-up bill, they are about to have a catch-up bill, you are paying for your previous occupants' usage. If you have gas heating it is pretty impossible to unknowingly consume £80 of electricity per month.
You have to check week-by-week to see what you are using now.0 -
...and make sure the decimal point on meter readings is in the correct place.0

And give us your actual kWh usage-monthly or quarterly bills tell us nothing.No free lunch, and no free laptop
