    Hi Dogbetty

    That is a high usage indeed. I would definitely get in touch with whoever the supplier is and tell them that you've tested your meter by turning off all the elec and the meter is still registering. They will (or should) send someone round to do an accuracy test. Some may charge you for that but will give you the money back once it's proven to be wrong. Sounds like a problem!

    I'd actually do the test first, before telling your supplier you have. It may very well solve o at the very least let you know what the problem is immedieately.
    The answers I give you may not want to hear. The answers I give may not be easy. The answers I give will be the truth. If your prepared for this - ask away!
