Gas bill rise

QrizB

OK, so you've had estimated bills but now you've given them readings they have updated the bill using them.

From the look of it, you've used quite a bit more electricity than the average household. Do you have anything in the house that uses a lot of electricity, eg. an electric heater, large tropical fish tank, terrarium, Bitcoin mine?

or an electric car….?

Thank you for reply I changed to bg in October when avro went bust I’m sure I give them a reading then but  admittedly haven’t give them any since this came to light today purely because I’ve never had this trouble before I take it I can never find out what my actual readings were and obviously have paid the price for not keeping on top of this I have a smart metre but was not installed by bg and got told today it’s first gen and not much good to any other company I get my energy I really do appreciate your help and feedback to you and every other person that’s replied also a bit strange that I give them a reading today and my March bill is almost the same as my dd I pay every month even though I’m using my energy like I have the last 5 months

Have a combi boiler only and shower is used by all in house most of the time

It would be a good idea to take daily reads for a few days to see what you are actually using.  Anything over around 9 kWh electric per day would need further investigation.

Is the shower run from the combi ?
