Baltimore Gas & Electric Baltimore Gas & Electric...bge.com - BGE sent me a bill for over $2,000 including late charges, and told me they forgot to bill me for several months. I asked how could that be, that I had been paying monthly. They said they installed a new meter several months ago and forgot to notify/bill us. Baltimore Maryland

 First of all a Utility Bill is something you get EVERY month.  So the "forgot" to bill us really doesn't hold any weight, unless you truly thought that they were giving you free electricity you(or your landlord) should have been on the phone with them finding out why you haven't gotten a bill.

Next, just based on the two numbers you gave it sure does sound like you had a meter issue.  But not with the new meter.  It is very hard to believe that in the middle of the summer you used 133KwH or just over 4KwH/day.  Even a fairly new refrigerator will take up about 1/3 of that amount per day.  Not including things such as your TV, Lights, Computers, or anything else that uses electricity.  Then if you even minimally use A/C that number is actualy impossible to acheive.  The 720KwH in the month is actually a bit more reasonable to what you would expect.

By the way..just so you get your math right..it isn't 7 times more useage.  In 2012 you had 4.43/KwH used per day, in 2013 you used 21.81KwH/Day.   That is actually just under 5 times as much(4.92 to be more exact).

Of course if you still have doubts.  Unplug and turn off EVERYTHING in your house.  Is your meter still moving?  If so then you MAY have an issue.  If not...plug in/turn on one thing at a time to see how much of a jump it makes.  As another test you can also pick up a meter at your local hardware store that will tell you exactly how much electricty each appliance is using...I bet you will be shocked at the results.
