10c per KWH is fucking expensive! I pay 6c tier 1 and 7c tier 2 and I never get past that. And that in CDN dollar for me.

Since it is a different house you might want to consider checking the house for something thats leeching power. Obviously something is using a LOT of power. Also make sure no one is stealing power from you!

Is it an older house/building?

only thing not brand new in the whole place is the furnace. I sunk 50k into this place the first month i lived here.

Dude aquariums are expensive to run!! Thats at least $20-30 a month.

If its an older house I would suggest replacing the wiring and panel at some point. It will be a lot cheaper to just replace everything rather then trying to splice into old wiring. It will be a lot safer, all your power usage will be way more efficient, and you will have way less risk of fires.

well listen to this when i changed my water heater there was a wire that went

from my box to the water heater then it fed back out of the heater and back

through my box and outside to the meter. My electrician said that back in the

day all houses were that way cause after 11pm the meter would give that

circuit power at a cheaper rate. Specifically for water heaters. But he said

that dont work that way anymore and since we arent supposed to go into

the meter i just had him cut those wires and cap em off inside my box. Im

having the electric co out to take a peek inside it and or look into replacing

it since its obviously old. Do you think im drawing to much attention by

doing so? keep in mind i only have a small 2x3 closet so they can come in

and walk thru every room if they wanted and wouldnt see anything
