After replacing the electricity meter, the energy consumption doubled

Mosenergosbyt demanded that I replace the electric meter. I had a very old one and I agreed to replace it with Mercury 200, with a connection to the two-tariff option. After the replacement, my consumption became more than 400 kW / h per month, although the average consumption over the past three years was about 200 kW / h. I suspected his strange work after, in our absence, the Siemens two-compartment refrigerator (A +), (everything else in the house was turned off) consumed 60 kW / h in 8 days. I ask you to answer whether there are grounds for my suspicions that the counter is not working correctly, judging by the refrigerator?

    New electronic meters are certainly more sensitive, but not by so much. In your case, there are some problems: either a wrong connection, or someone has already managed to connect and is stealing your electricity. Definitely need to call an electrician, check everything. And without load (if you turn off all the machines after the counter), does the electric meter wind up?
