Ciao a tutti, vivo a Berlino ormai da tre anni, e ho sempre avuto un consumo costante di elettricità nel mio appartamento, con una media di circa 1,7 kWh al giorno. Ho due luci e un fornello a due vie e cucino solo una volta al giorno. Tuttavia, di recente, ho ricevuto da Vattenfall una bolletta elettrica scioccante, che indicava un consumo medio di 12 kWh al giorno negli ultimi quattro mesi. Questo aumento è coinciso con la visita di un elettricista domestico che ha rimosso un interruttore che controllava le luci del corridoio. Sono perplesso da questo picco improvviso e mi chiedo se qualcuno abbia sperimentato qualcosa di simile o abbia qualche idea su cosa potrebbe causarlo. Potrebbe essere un elettrodomestico malfunzionante o qualche altro problema? Qualsiasi aiuto o suggerimento su dove posso cercare ulteriore assistenza sarebbe molto apprezzato. Grazie in anticipo!

Check your meter if it’s actually counting that much, and if yes, turn off the main fuse in your apartment and see if it’s still counting anything (it shouldn’t), if it’s not then try turning off individual devices or fuses for the rooms to see where the usage comes from within your apartment.
Your previous energy usage was quite low, average for a one person household is somewhere around 1500 kWh per year with a range from 1200 kWh to 1800 kWh being considered normal.
Unless you have a very good explanation for this, it is possible that your meter is broken.
That said, 4200 kWh is what a family of 4-8 people uses for everything including washing machine, freezer, fridge, tv and other electronic gadgets such as gaming system, pc, etc.
So something is not right here either.
I agree that a possible explanation is that the house electricity got accidentally connected to your line, but the meter could also be faulty.
Call the Stadtwerke and report this.
Could be that there is some short circuit or creepage if the electrician made a mistake. You don’t really write if you actually can look at your electricity meter and check the consumption, so your post doesn’t make it clear if you can be sure that the meter reading / the Vattenfall bill is correct.
12 kWh per day is of course much too much for a single person. 1,7 kWh sounds quiet low (less than the average consumption, but it is not undoable if you have an energy saving refridgerator and no washing machine. But could it also be that your meter was actually never read correctly, and now it was read correctly for the first time, so they are thinking you used all of this during the last 4 months, although in realitiy it is just your consumption from the last few years that was never read from the meter actually but only an estimate (which was too low for several years)?
