Why is my Electricity Bill High

High electricity prices are forcing householders to review their power consumption in much more detail than ever before – especially when they suddenly discover their electricity bill is very high.  Home owners usually direct their high electricity bill complaint straight to their electricity retailer who tend to show little interest to help solve their problem. This article is written to help home owners self diagnose their problem & take control of their power consumption.

Some likely reasons why your electricity bill is very high, could be;

  1. There is a mathematical error on the electricity bill,
  2. The electricity meter was not read correctly,
  3. Your electricity tariff is not competitive & is higher than normal,
  4. Your electricity charges have been increased without your knowledge,
  5. You are incorrectly paying the electricity bill for another residence,
  6. There is a wiring or appliance fault that is causing an electricity leak,
  7. High ‘stand-by’ power is present in the home,
