I got my electricity bill yest it is £660 for 3 months? I pay £110 per month on DD, and £42 for the gas, I now owe another £300 on the elec and £160 on the gas as that was £667 for 6 months both with the same supplier. I've been complaining something can't be right as I am a normal 3 bed semi, 4 people (17 - 42) all new white goods over 2 years, energy saving everything and still I can not get my bills down. Spoken to so many people who say something is so so wrong here but can't get any sense out of Southern Electric other than thats what you need to pay as you've used it. What would be your next move, the CAB ? I'm stumped

get them to fit a check meter along side your existing meter, i also had huge bills and it went on for ages and i got the same old s**t every time i called to complain.

It turned out that my meter is running almost 5 times too fast, it is a digital meter too which i was told dont go wrong. I am now on quest to claim back lots of money, good luck.

I read and note my meter twice a day. I do it at 10:00 and 22:00, my average usage is 9kWHr/day consisting of 3 units between 22:00 and 10:00 and 6 units between 10:00 and 22:00.

The washing machine is the "greediest" item using around 2.7 units per wash on 90 degrees. We have a seperate fridge and freezer, a wallwart for the cordless telephone, The TV, freeview box, video, computer equipment etc are all switched off at the socket when not in use.

We have a burglar alarm, also a CCTV system, with 2 cameras, a time lapse VCR, PIR light and a 7 watt patio bulkhead light that goes on all night, this security system consumes 1.2 units a day
