Is a ghost using electricity when I'm not at home?

There’s always a fix for that problem too. :)

https://forum.ovoenergy.com/ideas is perfect for that kind of suggestion. If you post it there, then there’s a 100% chance you’ll get an official response from OVO.

ive been out of town for a week and i turned off all appliances in my home before leaving. i have however noticed that my home is still using 3-4kw of electricity on a daily basis. any suggestions about what might be going on? thanks ! 

Hi @Rbhatt , do you have a smart meter? and if so what frequency are the readings set to?

I ask as that is the easiest way to find a power draw. 
Where do you see this 3-4kw usage by the way? And also when you say switched all appliances off, do you mean via their wall switches or just on the appliance itself?

I do have a smart meter but I’m not sure of the frequency for readings. I was told by Ovo it’s real time. Do the usage stats show you which appliance is using power? I can see the usage times but not where power is being used. 
I turned off the main switch for all appliances and also unplugged the ones I could like TV, router, blender etc. 

If they say ‘real time’ that suggests they’re set to every 30 mins - electricity updates on the in home display (IHD) every 12seconds or so, gas only every 30 mins. 
The usage stats make a guess at appliance use but if you check whether it’s a background level or spikes every so often, it’s easier to do some detective work. For example, what’s the background level - assuming you have a fridge/freezer still connected - and is there any heating which might switch on if the weather is very cold? 
Some appliances do consume power even if ‘off’ when they’re transformer connected. 

Can you please send us a screenshot of your meter readings themselves @Rbhatt?
