Do ‘projections’ take into account the electricity used during earned ‘free’ hours
We had an email from edf wanting to raise our bill based on future predicted use. Looking back at previous months history, the amount of electricity used was much higher during the months we had ‘free’ hours on a Sunday. When we had free hours, we used a lot more electricity than we usually would (as it’s free.) We would use the dish washer, do all the washing, blast the air con etc. So on these days our usage was crazy. We obviously get that amount refunded but the amount of electricity we actually used still registers. What I am trying to say is that it’s a bit naughty if they are taking the used electricity during the free hours into account when predicting usage as it’s not a true reflection. Surely most people would do the same and absolutely rinse those free hours? Is it a sneaky tactic as a way of increasing your bills?
