I had the same problem years ago & just wanted to warn you to check the estimated bill they send you with a fine tooth comb. Mine was demanding extra payment on top of the monthly dd I'd been paying with ridiculous estimations that had me using more electric in summer months than winter (I'm all electric so that's heating too) so they basically made it all up. I insisted on a monitoring or my actual usage from the date of my new meter installation & ended up getting £800 due to overpayment. I should add my blank meter was in the first year of my switch of supplier but I would advise you to use previous years of actual use (not estimate periods) for your argument if you think they are overcharging you on their estimates for the blank period as you could save a lot & possibly get money back1
