Did think it was a very iffy thread

Give them a chance to actually organise someone to have a look.
Im sure theyll get back to us after theyve had a professional investigation done

Fair point, it hasn't been that long really.

They might have a life outside of electrical work!

There's life outside electrical work??? Don't be silly.

But we need answers, they come in here asking for help and then disappear for days, how rude ??

I am reminded of one house I worked on where the client asked us to look into his extremely high electrical bills, it turned out he had the AC on in his basement swimming pool.

Isn't that a problem that we all suffer from every now and then? ?

Maybe he was heating the pool with immersions

I hope you are not suggesting that all sparks are not living like Premier League football players or hedge fund managers.

So it's just old Tel then is it?

Never checked for thread updates as often as I have with this one.

Very seldom go to this forum, but did today and read every post! Problem is very intriguing! I’ve tested a lot of meters in NYS and never came across a bad one! Useage always turned out to be the customer’s fault, usually because they were unaware that they were heating there in ground pool or 500 gal tropical aquarium! Just shut the power off at your panel already! And like other poster have stated, see what happens next door! Stealing power is easy, whether intentional or not! I am eager to learn the outcome of this!

 

[Phil L]

Guess this is one thread we won’t see an outcome on, shame really would be interested to know, hopefully the OP has had someone out to look at the meter, paying between £1.5 -2.5k a month on power for a 5 bed house Is crazy

Yes would be nice to get an outcome, a lot of effort put in by member's.
