GAS PILOT LIGHT

[mickmerc]

I have just recieved a gas bill for 6 months for my mothers empty bungalow,only the pilot light has been on ,except for the first month, when the heating was on for 1 hour am. and pm.. The bill was £140 this seems very excessive indeed, But they say that it is right.
DO PILOT LIGHTS USE THAT MUCH GAS !!!!!!

No they don`t.
Was the bill an estimate if so they will be basing it on your when your mum still occupied the house.or was the bill before that an estimate,if so it could be correct.You should go and read the meter yourself,then phone them with the reading.They will send out a corrected bill.

 

[mickmerc]

all readings are correct been to check,looks like I`ll have to pay.

Approximately £23 per month, most of it might be standing charge? Have a look how many gas units was used

 

[mickmerc]

It used 5 units in 11 days,glad I`m not with British Gas,Robbing B********!!turned mains off now.

Get a gas engineer in to do tightness test might be a really big gas leak ! it wouldnt be the first time.

No smell of gas was only serviced a short time ago,but will check again . Thanks
