utility bill last month went from $33/34 to 83. I have been unplugging everything when not using. I did nothing different from the previous month. I had the meter person come out to reread the meter
and the figures were pretty close to what it said on the bill. I pointed out the disk that spins around showing the usage(the more electricity you use the faster the disk spins) was spinning over 50% faster and I had unplugged everything except the refrigerator and tv(I couldn’t reach the outlet) The disk had been spinning 50% slower when I had everything plugged in and turned on. My brother and I can’t figure out what is going on. The meter guy said that if there was something wrong with the meter that the disk would be spinning slower not faster. I have not used anything new. My new utility bill says I have used (was 695 elec watts last statement and this statement says 808) Since I got last bill I cut back even more. I unplugged everything electrical except the refrigerator and tv. And no I am not watching more tv than last month. My refrigerator is an energy star Appliance 3 years old. The electrical portion should have come down not go up! Anyone know of what is going on?
