This is very curious. About four months ago, my bill went from a monthly average of $82 (never more than $90 and once was $65) over a year or so. Then BAM!...I got a bill for $190!
I figured the bill had been misread and a correction would occur when the meter reader took the next reading. No, the next bill was $90. I am positive the $65 bill and the $190 bill were erroneous.
I like the suggestion to read the meter daily. Also, I read the commentary link and that writer requested a "smart" digital meter. It was interesting that her readings were consistently lower with the new meter. Now I am wondering if there is something bad going on with my aged meter.
Gonna make a call to Helco!
