If the utilities trust you some will allow you to call in your meter and then come once a quarter or some even twice a year and ensure that you were reading it correctly. That is something that can be asked. Also, many times (they do it here) they will take the reading for about two years and then just average it out and then come once a year to check it in person. If it's above their average estimates then your bill will raise a little bit (they won't put it all on at once) and then check it normally (the people may have gotten an HVAC system, new freezer, etc.. that can raise the electric consumption).
Personally I think that the poster did fine.
