I have a worcester boiler I know it is at least 8 years old my gas bills are awful I have one bedroom no gas fire and do not use the cooker very much the gas board have informed me I have to pay £95 a month now could it be the boiler if so how can I check it
Unlikely to be the boiler. £95pm for a one bed flat (my guess) is ridiculous
Check what units your meter records in. If you look at the front of your meter it will say if it measures in cubic feet or cubic metres.
Post this info and the details from your latest bill: meter reading - start and finish readings, units used, kWH used and we will check the calculation.
How long have you been in the flat? If its not been very long they could have used the latest bill's consumption (cold winter) and assumed the same consumption over a year.
Has the meter been changed since you started living in the flat?
The monthly payment may be high because your previous payments were not enough and you have built up a large balance which they are trying to collect over a very short time.
Check your bill for amount brought forward (first figure) and amount carried forward (last figure).
What were you paying previously?
Do they show a calculation explaining why the payment needs to be increased?
If necessary phone them up and ask why it is so high.
PS There is no such thing as "the gas board". That was privatised years ago and became British Gas, who no longer have a monopoly in selling gas to domestic customers.
