At £0.14 per Kw hour this property has use over 35,700 Kw and means they are using over 16 Kw per hour every hour! What the hell are they feeding? The factory next door???

That's what I thought, too. Sometimes we see these threads and it's fairly easy to predict something like an immersion heater etc, but THAT amount of power just doesn't compute. There HAS to be either an error in measurement or a DNO/construction level cabling fault.

If the OP is still reading this thread, go into Maplins and spend £20 on an AC CURRENT CLAMP METER. Put the jaws around either one of the cables that go FROM the meter into the fusebox, set the dial to 'A' (not mA) and tell us what the numbers are.

Can't be 100% sure, but pretty confident my last cheap 'drop in the mud' one was less than £30
