    Hi all,
    I just received my ESB bill yesterday and to my considerable consternation, it showed a bill of over €900. My last two bills were estimated, but this seems to be hugely over the odds.
    My meter readings are as follows

    From Date To Date Reading Type Consumption
    29-Jun-2009 29-Jun-2009 99,405 KWh customer reading 0 KWh
    30-Jun-2009 18-Aug-2009 99,704 KWh estimated reading 299 KWh
    19-Aug-2009 15-Oct-2009 75 KWh estimated reading 371 KWh
    16-Oct-2009 15-Dec-2009 526 KWh estimated reading 451 KWh
    16-Dec-2009 24-Feb-2010 6,163 KWh ESB Networks reading 5637 KWh
    25-Feb-2010 02-Mar-2010 6,386 KWh customer reading 223 KWh

    From looking at the figures, it seems like there's an outlandishly huge amount of power being used. I've a 4 bed house of approx 1100 sq ft, and it's well insulated. My bill should be around approx €150. I can't understand it. My heating is gas so that takes a big part of the possible equation out. The main draws would be the tumble dryer (used probably 2 hours a day on average), the oven (about the same) and the immersion water heater (this I'm not sure of, but even if it was on 24/7 I don't think it would have anything like that impact). I have my PC on 24/7 but it has a 450w powersupply and I'd guess it idles at 200w. So, any ideas as to what's going on? I'd appreciate any help.
