£4 per day for gas? No CH on?

amy1912

All of a sudden our smart meter is showing gas usage of £4-£5 per day. Normally it's about £1. Heating not on. 2 showers and one bath per day. Our usage has not changed and prices have not yet increased so I've no idea what this charge could be?
Thanks for any help

I think you are looking at the In House Display that's in your kitchen  -  the Smart Meter will be in your garage or an outdoor meter box.

Read that meter over the next few days and let us know the readings.

How many kWh's is the difference compared to when it was £1?

Someone taking longer showers?
Is it just today that's happened? If so it could be the thermostat kicked the boiler as it was cold over night (last night).

My guess is that the tariff on your in-home display (IHD) has changed and may well be wrong. If you go through the menus you should be able to see the standing charge and cost per kWh which you can compare to what they should be. What I'm sure you'll also be able to access somewhere is your actual gas use each day in kWh, which if the data goes back far enough you could see if it's changed or not, and you could also use it to calculate what your actual daily cost is.

Thank you all of you for taking the time to reply. I'm currently on a stretch of night shifts but I'll make sure tomorrow I check out the things you've mentioned and get back to you. Thanks again 🙂
