I am definitely muddled. Properties are on same meters and they are actual readings. The data above is copied from their bills.Gerry1 said:You seem a bit muddled, overlapping timeframes and wrong number of days. Are the properties separately metered?Are the readings estimated or your actual readings?If you're certain about this, then you appear to have been billed twice for the period 30th Nov - 17th Dec.(You have one bill covering 4th Oct - 17th Dec (74 days), and another for 30th Nov - 11th Jan (42 days). They overlap. The total duration is 99 days.)N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile.

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Fat fingered word processing; meant to say "If the meter is metric but the energy company thinks it's imperial then you'll be charged for 2.83 times the amount you've used.".Original corrected.1

Sorry about dates - my mistake. Should have read 30th Nov - 11th Jan (43 days) and 3rd Oct - 29th Nov (58 days).
I've put my details into MSE energy club and it says this variable rate is the best one at the moment. Alternatively I can switch and pay an extra £1,800 a year. OuchIncreasingly money-conscious

Just revisiting this old thread of mine with a wistful grin. These days our DD is £500 a month....
I just switched to Octopus - they want £500 upfront as credit, have set a £500 DD to come out in May and our current/previous supplier want their £500 in May too. Mental!Increasingly money-conscious

If the immersion heater is certain to be Off, buy a Tapo P110 smart plug for energy monitoring and start with the Fridge/ freezers.
