Turn off all your electrical appliances, and then see if your electricity meter is clocking up any kilowatts. If it is, and your home is not using any at that time, then there is something wrong and you should contact the electricity company who supply your power.

- Thank you! This is exactly what I was planning on doing.

How do you know what his bill is?
Comments
- Because we've mentioned to him that our electric bills seem to be very high, even during the warm months where we don't run the heat or a/c, and he told us that his is usually $50 or less and the highest it has ever run him was just over $100 during an especially cold month.

- That DOES sound a bit curious. I would try to find out why, too. (..and whoever down rated..I was just asking to know the facts, idiot troll.)

I would call the power company and have them check your meter. It may be malfunctioning.

Or maybe your neighbors meter is malfunctioning.

I would tell the power company of your suspicions also.
You are either right or you're not.

Look out side or around your home to make sure they don't have a extension cord plugged in or possibly buried underground running under your home plugged in. Ask the power company to come check to make sure you don't have to much electricity running into your home. I had to do that once, I was blowing light bulbs every day for 3 months. They fixed it.

- Yes, I'd already planned on doing exactly that - that way at least we'd know if there really *is* a problem or not. Thanks!
