Well our usage is still way up on pre-smart meter even with our solar panels giving record generation. Not exactly sure how to proceed. Heating, hot water (other than shower) and cooking are all gas. Meter people say it's our inverter using all the power, solar people (not installers - gone broke) say that's not possible as while inverter needs AC present it uses (mostly) DC and either is working (which it is) or isn't. And why this jump exactly at moment smart meter installed.
Maybe need to get Which? involved.
