£37 to run fridge and freezer for two weeks!

Doubleme

is that normal energy company constantly seems to be overcharging went away for two weeks for christmas and new years to girlfriends folks and apparently we were charged £37 for usage even though all we had on was the fridge and freezer they mentioned an £8 standing charge etc so maybe £29 but still basically £30 to run a fridge and a freezer for two weeks am I been silly or is that incredibly steep and seeming not right?

its not so much the £37 that is the issue that amount of money is not a lot its just i Have been feeling they have been over charging us and ripping us of for a while and this appears to make the case clear.

is this normal?

I suggest you get a smart meter and check how much your fridge and freezer are using.

My freezer was old, and my fridge about 8 years' old. And, between them, they were costing £1,200 a year to run!

Energy Companies have so many perfectly legal ways to charge us excessive amounts. They don't need to resort to "ripping you off"...

Yuo can get a consumption plug that monitors individual appliances.

, next time you go away for a week or two just tell them you are moving , give them a date , then give final reading . turn off everything for the holiday , then never engage with any broker ever again , they will try 3 times maybe to get your attention then they will move on to easier meat
