Hi - not sure if this is the right forum to post this- please move if not.
I have recently moved into a new apartment (new to me at least). I'm concerned about my last couple of ESB bills - they are about twice as much as my last place. This apartment has the same heating (storage) and water heating system as my previous place. I can't see any major increase in my electricity usage/.
I'm wondering if the increases in my bills could be down to the water. The water from the tap is scalding - even the water in the cold taps is warm. The system seems to make a lot more noise than the last one - and I assume it only heats the water for the same length of time ( its already heating when I get up in the morning.) I have never experienced water so hot coming from a tap.
I have been on to ESB and they have suggested a meter test which I will do but just wondering if anyone could shed light on it. It's a Quartz E7 water heater and is preset to come on in the morning so I have no idea how to change the settings.
Thanks in advance.
