I am specifically referring to meters for heat/AC energy.

Our duplex has two meters, but when I went to submit our reading and create our account it said that the one with the lower reading was not the one attached to our bill.

I assume that the lower reading would be ours because

  1. It is just me and my husband in our suite, the neighbors are a couple with a toddler.

  2. The neighbors have an extra room to heat.

  3. We don't let our heat 'run in the background'. To save money, we only turn it on when we feel physically too cold and we promptly turn it off when it reaches the set temperature.

  4. Finally, we haven't ran our heat in almost a month, I can literally hear theirs click in each morning. Is there any chance they are being billed for our meter and we are getting theirs? They have been here for a few years, we have only been here for two months.

Turn all of your heat / AC devices off then go out and verify one is moving and one that is not. Many utilities have the tag number from the meter or seal on the bill. With smart meters ID tags are much more common.
