The previous month's usage was calculated after a rollover or meter replacement, which may have caused an error in his favor. A better test would be to look at the month prior to that.

Maybe UT.


These were for the months prior of course and November was a dark rainy month and there was a light left on all night all month and I do use the oven which may be the culprit?


I hope you are right rich and I've just been getting a deal. When the usage reports come out in 2010 it will be interesting to see where energy usage is coming from.

I have been calculating my daily usage and the way the meter is running I am using 19 kw per day which will be about 570.

B. What do you mean off peak for your water heater? How did you fix it?
I know that the electric company charge more for on peak times but I don't know what time of day that is. Probably the times of night when people like to turn on their holiday lights.

I'm a giv'n up on this .... I did report it to the electric company though so they know.

I do appreciate the comments so thanks .
