Huge Electricity Bill - Help
We are staying on the side of family right now. We arrived a couple months ago. First month electric bill went up a little... from $120 to $160. This last month from $160 to $800!!!!
Trying to figure out what the heck happened. It has been colder but we only run a 1500 watt electric heater (it has been running 24/7 since we got here). We did put heat tape on the water lines (40 feet of tape total). That is it.
Obviously this is strange and according to family all our fault. We are being told to turn off the heater, stop running laundry and basically being cut off.
We were planning on rolling on in a week anyways BUT we really want to try to find the culprit. (and yes we will be paying the $680 difference)
Can it be the:
1. heat tape
2. Space heater
3. well pump (we draw straight off of it)
Something else?
