I take monthly readings for my energy supplier and submit via their website. I have noticed this month and last month that the usage is considerably lower than I would expect.
The average of "normal" monthly usage is about 250kWh. Last two readings are 168kWh and 116kWh. Looking back to the same months over the last couple of years the usage is about 230~240kWh.
Nothing has changed as far as usage is concerned - oven is the biggest user and I don't think that is faulty.
Would a meter really show this much difference, i.e. read low? I don't fancy being charged for a meter test if there is nothing wrong. I may have a current clamp I could borrow from work to check when loads are applied
