Electrical problem guide

Why is my electricity bill suddenly high?

How to separate usage changes, faulty equipment and metering concerns.

What to notice

The pattern helps narrow the fault

  • Usage increased without a clear lifestyle change
  • A geyser or pump runs unusually often
  • The meter advances faster than expected

Note when the problem began, what changed immediately beforehand and whether it is constant or intermittent. Photographs can provide context, but they cannot confirm that equipment is safe.

What we check

A structured professional assessment

  • Recent consumption patterns
  • High-load appliances and controls
  • Circuit measurements and meter observations
