| Comment | This was pre-winter so no heating, but from Aug 2 through to Oct 31 (so three whole months) my flatmate and I used about £40 of gas. While working from home, cooking lunch and dinner every day.
Check if your thermostat is set to kick in below a certain temperature, even though you only actively turn the heating on for an hour a day, your stat might be turning it on in the night for example.
If you've only just moved in in the past few months you might be on a carry over tariff from the previous person while the switch waits to be sorted (though why this would take over 2 months I don't know).
​
Definitely double check the storage thing as mentioned below.
If you're worried about a potential gas leak causing the high bill you might be able to ask your landlord to phone a gas maintenance person to come give the okay, but if your CO alarm hasn't gone off it's unlikely it's this.
​
They might be doing what E-On did to us earlier in the year and charging more so your account stays in credit?
​
And as suggested by others make sure you're submitting the right reading numbers. I had to look up a manual for mine as it was different to my last one and I had all sorts of numbers flashing on the digital display. Would recommend doing this even if you're certain you're reading it correctly. |
