High Electric Bill

venomx

Bill for this month was £155 which im guessing is way too high for a 1 bed flat with one person residing in it ?


I logged in online and can't go back as far as this time last year but the obvious trend is during the winter it's high and in the summer its as low as £37


I suspect the fact one of my large electric heaters has been in a low usage mode where it exerts heat silently and has been on for the past few months. would you agree this has played a part in the high bill ?

Yes!!!!!!!!

also make sure all the readings are actual readings and not estimates. read your meter regularly at least every month

Yep I give meter readings every month. Phoned up the supplier and gave them again today and he said they sound correct

I'll keep the heater off this month then and see if it reduces the bill

Having the economy 7 on all night shouldn't make the bill that high?
Ever since the electrician replaced something on my water heater I have to keep it on more

From your other post it looks like the electrician replaced a thermostat.

Heating your water at night is the best thing you can do - what you don't want to do is to use the Boost switch to heat the water during the daytime.

Make sure that the units used at night aren't being charged at the day rate and vice versa.
