Electric Bill

We received our first electric bill last night and hubby was not happy about how much they charged us for two weeks. In hubby's mind, the electric company might charge us from the previous weeks that this apartment was empty instead of charging us from the first day we moved in. I don't know exactly how things would work out but I hope they will be able to fix it as they promised to come over and check the meter or whatever they need to be check because the amount they charged us was very unreasonable. Imagine it's double from what we usually charged and not only that... our old house was 3 times bigger from where we are now so it's very impossible for us to consume so much electricity for this smaller apartment...
