If your bill is higher than you expected there are several reasons why this might be.
-
Was your last bill estimated? It may have been a low estimate and this bill is ‘catching up’. Estimated readings are based on past billing history and are usually accurate. If you think an estimated bill is not accurate please contact us with your own readings.
-
Are you comparing a winter bill to a summer bill? Energy bills are typically higher in winter than in summer months.
-
Have your circumstances at home changed, for example a family member returning from University or perhaps the arrival of a new baby? This can increase the amount of electricity used around the home.
-
Have you installed any new equipment or increased the use of existing appliances, such as a tumble drier or electric heater?
-
Has there been a tariff increase since the last bill was issued? You would have received a letter informing you about this.
-
Do you have a faulty appliance? Have you had an electrician check this?
