    OP, the ESB do know the amount of electricity used - it was just recorded on the night meter as opposed to day meter. They will have to recalculate the electricity used during the occupancy.

    Your ESB bills seem very high, and doubly more so for someone who is being charged a night time rate.

    I agree that the onus is on the ESB to resolve this for you in a fair manner, as they are ultimately responsible for the meters but in fairness, you should have been checking the meter yourself occasionally to ensure that you were being billed the correct amount.

    I agree with dudara here - your night readings are very high.

    It would be useful to verify that both your day and night supply is not connected in error to your night meter.

    You will be able to do this by switching on a number of high wattage appliances (during the day) such as immersion, heaters, kettle, etc, and running out and physically check the night meter to see if the little wheel is spinning around. If it is, then you will have been over-paying for your night supply, and the ESB will have to take this into account by reducing your bill.
