Electricity bill has grown

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with electricity bills

I WAS wondering if anyone else has had this problem with electricity bills.

I changed to Direct Energie exactly a year ago. During the year, my consumption went up and down as per usual, but always between 1,600 and 1,900 kwh.

The bill I received for the period November 29 to January 28 had a consumption of 3,741kwh, which is huge.

We have not added any appliances or changed our way of living and the meters are read at various intervals by the company.

I just want to know whether anyone else has had such a huge rise in consumption.

It is nothing to do with snow or the cold weather, as our heating is from oil and wood.
