Our electric bill has been running pretty high even though it hasn’t been that cold and we’ve been supplementing with wood heat. Decided to track down the culprit and hooked up an energy usage monitor to one of our 5 sub panels. Gonna check the other 4 over the course of the next few days.
How much of your electricity bill is electricity usage though?
I would not be shocked if something like 40% of the bill is fees or connection charges.
Quite a bit. I think we averaged something like 90Kwh per day last month, which is a lot for a 2200 sqft home. My theory is that this place is about as airtight as a block of Swiss cheese and our 19 year old heat pump is struggling to keep up.
Only 40%?
When I lived in a smaller town, my electric bill was 80% of fees and connection charges.
