Im sure this is a very simple thing for most people but I am completely confused by all the numbers
Having read an article in the week about energy companies ripping customers off and bills not being clear I thought I would just double check ours as to be honest I just let the direct debits take care of themselves
We did a reading ourselves a year ago and then another reading was taken by the meter reader in the summer but I am only going by last October's reading as that gives me a years overview
So electricity shows a useage of 5100 (when you take the reading from last year away from this year)
I take it,, that this is 5100 kilowats?
But the gas is harder to fathom, I work it out as 861 useage. But no where on the bills Ive downloaded are these numbers? It says that our estimated usage is just under 20 000 kilowats a year, 861 is no where neaer that. Plus when I just put in the new gas reading just now it said to check again as it looked very high.
Does anyone know what 861 means for the gas usage, is that the same as 20000 kilowats?
We were paying £134 per month for a small 3 bed semi which I thought was rather high, but having put our new readings in, it has put us in quite a lot of debt so I think the bill will now go up even more!
We are with eon and its gas and electric together
