Sounds reasonable until you realize that this practice could result in two problems that could cost you money. For one, your actual usage could be much lower than the estimate, so you’re stuck paying much higher bills. On the flipside, you could have been paying much less than you’re supposed to, which is okay until an actual reading is taken and your bill jumps drastically.
Check your utility bills every month. If a meter reading is estimated, call the company and ask for an actual reading immediately. If the meter is behind a locked gate or in a basement, make sure you are there to give access.
