ELECTRIC BILL SKY ROCKETS !

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would calculate the EXACT cost of how much it takes to run your fish tanks, it can be done and lots of people have to do it to prove to others that it's not expensive. It makes sense that it could be the newly-filled apartment above you! I would target that.
 
How do I find out if the electricity is wired to stuff in another apartment? Should I have some one from the Electric Company come out here and check all of the fuse boxes some how?
 
check your bill. It should have KW/h usage and you can compare it with the last statement.
Sometimes the PUD will just tack on extra money to bills if they dont feel like going and reading the meters.
 
oh and to find exact costs of tanks you can buy a "kill-a-watt" meter from home depot or lowes or most hardware stores for about 20-25 bucks and itll track exact usage. Would just have to do a run of say a week for each tank and then adjust for the amount of days in a month
 
The readings went up, *and the power company ppl just drive by slowly while pointing their little 'gun' thing at the meter, it gets read every month.....
 
I just don't want to have to pay to have things checked out, they charge Mega $$$ to come out to check on anything!:nilly::nilly:
 
Have you considered talking the your neighbor that moved in and asked when they last got an electric bill and how much it was? It might be worth it to see what they say. I'd also talk to the landlord. Things don't seem to be adding up.
