And my heating bill...was correct.

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Apr 21 '11, 15:58

I cannot figure out how this can possibly be right, but they called, said they reread the meter and confirmed my bill was accurate.

*knock knock* Hello there, neighbor! Saaay, by any chance would you happen to be siphoning my gas to power a small meth lab of any kind? - Tim SI Apr 21, 16:33

- Happened to me. They read the meter in August and then estimated until January or February and then read the meter. - the liioulu with Apr 21, 16:29 2
  - well yeah, its *cold* in the winter - z's replacement droid Apr 21, 16:33 1
    - 'tis. Which is why that first winter bill after an actual reading was a shock. - the liioulu with Apr 21, 16:37
WTF? Now what? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 21, 16:23
They either were estimating before and it was low, or there is something wrong with your line. - the liioulu with Apr 21, 16:22 4
- I've lived here for three years now, this is the first time anything like this has happened. -- nm - Tim Apr 21, 16:29 2
  - There is zero percent chance it's correct. Ask to speak to their boss, have them look at the combined total of your past 12 months. -- nm - David Apr 21, 17:49
  - I'd have the lines checked over, and maybe even the meter. - the liioulu with Apr 21, 16:44
- some places they just estimate usage, then periodically have the meter read for real - z's replacement droid Apr 21, 16:28
oof. is it read every month, or is it estimates then actual reading? -- nm - b. Apr 21, 16:21 1
- I always assumed the meter was read monthly, but I have no idea for sure. -- nm - Tim Apr 21, 16:31
whoa. -- nm - kelly Apr 21, 16:06
