    Can u please tell me where you got your typical figures from? Every single other estimation website ha's estimated usage a lot lower than that.


    I think you are confusing a typical 3000kwh for Electric where Gas is used for heating - your flat is all electric and that means all the hot water, heating, cooking, lighting, shower, your tv.........

    Very roughly you are using 5000kwh at night at say 12p = £600 and 2000kwh at 20p day = £400. Add 25p a day standing charge then add VAT at 5% to give an approx total of £1150 and thats £100 a month.

    From your other posts - yes you do know how much you've used - read your meters today and deduct the reading from December.

    Go back to Npower and ask to be transferred to their best tariff - it will be quoted on your bill or go to a comparison site and you might even get £30 cashback

    Do get into the habit of reading your meters - it will save the hassle you are having.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
