You can always phone them miranda, watch they don't go over the top tho.
And start taking weekly readings,work out what is owed , so no nasty shocks.
If the numbers go up for say one particluar week, find out WHY. Do this for gas, electric and water.0 -
All suppliers are different.
Look at your past bills and take an average off costs over the past 12 months and add a bit more.
Ring them and ask to set up a dd for the figure above. If they are a decent company they should look at your usage and decide if that amount will cover your annual usage.
This is the best way to work - no nasty winter bills - just same amount every month - easy!
Best of luck
