I would take 2 separate readings (in kWh) 24 hrs apart to see if the usage looks about right. You should have a fairly good idea how much you normally use...
I had a meter in the past telling me I used £400 worth of gas (in the summer so no heating) in 1 day but when the bill arrived, the usage/bill was perfectly normal. There may be a glitch of sorts. I wouldn't worry about the amount, as long as the usage is correct. Check the readings daily at the same time if possible for a few days (you will be able to calculate how much that costs yourself) and if they seem ok, I wouldn't worry...0 -
Average daily usage is around 8-10kw, you will likely have a hot water tank using 3kwh +, is it on a timer? Are you not on E7?
Are the night storage heaters or simple panel heaters, oil, clay, heaters?0
