I mean seriously, how can the usage it be higher in a period where UFH was off compared to a period where UFH was on, with everything else being equal???

Is the UFH the only heating you have that is fed by the district heating system or do you have radiators as well?

We only have UFH. Is it possible at all that, say, there is something wrong with the meter?

What does the meter do when you turn off the heating?

I don't have access to it AFAIK. I take the usage from their website.

By the way, I've turned the underfloor heating back on since Wednesday, and since then the usage has gone done from 25 kWh to 21 kWh. This makes absolutely no sense at all.

I wonder if the district heating people have got the meters mixed up.  It happens from time to time with electricity and gas.

  I'm not familiar with District Heating, but there must surely be a meter on or immediately adjacent to the property.

Is it perhaps combined with the thermostat?

That is strange, the ones I've seen elsewhere have the meter and thermostat all in one unit.

I would certainly query if they have got the right 'meter' associated with your apartment though as the way it is changing in relation to your use makes little sense.

Update: You were right, turns out the developers had assigned the wrong meter to our flat and we were being charged £30-£40 too much each month.
