Edit: our usage is saying around 72 kwh per day and it used to be around 30-35, without changing anything

Our power bill has gone from 300 to around 750 this month, and our usage has pretty much doubled - yet we haven't changed our habits at all, if anything we've used less power, but our readings are showing that we're using double the amount?

2 person household, 1 heatpump used minimally, dryer

We've used the appliances like this since we've moved in and our bill was around 300-350 each month - now it's 750 or more.

It's almost like we're being charged for 2 house holds...

Anyone else had this issue? About to pull me hair out
