Power bill

Julia from Stoke

Hi neighbours,
I need help, please! I would like to understand why my power consumption dramatically increased after moving houses.
Especially I'm concerned about Controlled meter. My understanding is that 'controlled' is only for hot water cylinder. Just to give you an example, in March 2023 in our previous house we used under 200 kWh, this March in our new house we used 340 kwh. Nothing except the house has changed. Can someone speculate about what might be going on? We are definitely not using more hot water and the hot water cylinder is newish.
would be grateful for any help and advice,
Thank you ♥
