We've been working from home since March of 2020, and the monthly bill has pretty much hovered around 100 bucks every month since except for the last two months.
The usage says we used about 12,000kwh for the last two months, we didn't catch last month because it's automatic payment, it didn't go through and got tacked on to this month's bill with a message of passed due (how we noticed) of a total of around $2,800.
The meter reading 3 months ago read 846kwh, and right now it reads 840kwh when I checked it after I made a call to the power company.
The power company said they will put a hold on our account and we should pay what we think is fair, and that we will get a tech to read your meter in 7 days. He said that the reading I have him sounds right for us getting charged almost 3k for two months.... It doesn't seem right to us. We unplug devices from the wall when not in use, have energy efficient lights, 3 loads of laundry a week. And have been very consistent with our usage for almost 2 years.
What should we do to contest this if they say the charges are correct? Any other advice?
