Gas & Electricity

Can you see any wires going from your meter cupboard into next door?

None. No pungent aromas either.

No gas at all. No hot tubs or aircon or fans. No tumble drier or dishwasher. Cups of tea, guilty.

Are you charging lots of devices ? You need to unplug them from the mains when they are charged because even left on without the devices attatched the chargers still use elec , little things add up , also anything with a clock face like microwaves , washing machines are using elec at rest , turn them off at the mains when not in use

Has your direct debit gone up or has your actual bill gone up? The electric company can only bill you for electric you have used so if it's the bill then something somewhere has used it. If everything is off then it could be a dodgy appliance, power-washer, lawn-mower? Who knows.

Either way your smart meter can help out if you have one. Some companies like Octopus add a breakdown of usage onto their bills so you can see usage hourly by day. I can see exactly on my bill by the day and hour when the kettle goes on!
