Default Can u help me confirm my meter reading

I got a bill from electric company that showed almost triple my usage. I have been using almost 500 - 700 units a month for the past 1 year. How is it a spike? I got them to read my meter again. I did receive the second time results saying that, "u use your hot water alot".. Anyway, I took a pic of my meter and read it my self. Could you please confirm my reading.

thank you.

moe

If you average 500 units a month, how many units did the electric company read the second time they checked? Are you using a electric space heater? They consume a huge amount of electricity.

Default Meter Reading

I don't have a space heater. This time my meter reading show as 1600 units. I think that's not correct. I took a picture of the meter and read it myself. I just want someone to confirm my reading if it is correct. I think Electric companies are a rip off. give me your email so i could attach the picture of my meter.

thank u.
