Ever since moving into a smaller flat for some strange reason my bills for my gas supply have doubled - I've now got one for £240 for the period December - February!!!

All I've got that uses gas in my place is a cooker, central heating for 2 radiators & a water heater for hot water for the taps. Heating goes on from 5am-9am, then 5pm to 11pm daily.

I've phoned British Gas to make a complaint etc - they've told me to take a meter reading every day for 7 days which I have done & have got to phone them tomorrow!!! They've said that it could be a faulty meter.

I've compared my bill with one from my old place (5 radiators, bigger place etc). Over 3 months in my old place I'd used 93 units - in my new place which is tiny in comparison I used 925 units - in the past week I've used 49 units!!!!

If the meter is suspected to be faulty then they'll take it away & test it - if it is knackered then there'll be no charge & i'll get 2 years worth of bills recalculated & money refunded but otherwise it will cost me £80 if it isnt incorrect!!!

So my question basically to anyone who knows is.....what else could it be - and what should my gas usage be for my setup???
