Electrical Usage

Lisa · 2003-12-02T03:40:43+00:00

We recently moved in to a "new" house (18 years old). The electricalusage cost has been more than double our usage in the previous house. Especially taking in to consideration all of the factors (insulation,square footage, etc.)The electrical company says our usage is in line with the previousowners usage. Which basically means nothing. I believe there mightbe an electrical problem causing the meter to read that we are usingmore electricity than is actual or should be. I don't think there isa problem with the meter. I think there is a problem that causes themeter to run faster than it should given the energy usage.How can I determine what's going on so that it can be corrected? I'vebeen monitoring the meter and have seen large fluctuations in thedaily Kwh usage per day for no good reason.Thanks very much for all your suggestions.Lisa
