Could you get someone to check your heating system?
We are in a new build all electric house & our neighbours when we first moved in had their heating set up wrong & it cost them £300 in a month.

if you don't have any gas at all, that probably has something to do with it. Gas is a lot more efficient and cost less and so using heating and cooking on top of just tvs, lights and appliances with the electric will drive your prices up. you're still using it when you're not it, really depends what you have in your house.
and also, you can't directly compare to your parents house, prices have gone up, but mostly, it's about lifestyle and usage not how big your house is. our gas and elec have been similar no matter if we lived in a terrace, semi detacted or bungelow all of very different sizes, even taking into account of prices rises.
If there's no error you'll have to really take note of how much you have plugged in. i.e. a phone charger that is plugged in but switched off still draws electricity.
i think your bill is high but if it's for all your appliances/energy supply and you have no gas i don't think it's that excessive. Especially with low rating appliances etc.
Oh. also if you're in a communal building with stairways and lighting you could being billed for that. We were once until we had them sort it out.

Our communal electric is in with our service charge.
Its extremely high considering our neighbours are in all day have the exact same size flat but are using only about £20 that's with emersian element on all day.
As said before we are soooo careful with all our electricity we have candles lit for example in the evening 1- because we like it lol but 2- so we don't have to use the lights.
Our home is the first of its kind in kent for code sustainable homes level 3 it should be very very efficient and only use £40 a month that a week would make me happy at the moment lol xx
Something is not right x
Went through this last year and the years before. I have the same heating as you, you need to switch to an econamy 10 meter, and make sure they have wired it in properly, is it a meter with 3 wires in the top or ones that are running though the bottom? I am an actual pro with this, please PM me if you have questions.
