Why is my electricity bill so high?
Hello,
I am at my wits end. My electricity bill is way too high. I live in a mobile home and when I DO NOT have a/c and heat on my bill is an average of $175. I've been here 8 years and I have had enough. I called an electrician once too look at the outside utility pole and feeders. He said they looked OK but didn't test anything. He looked at my electrical boxes inside and out but didn't test anything. The way electricity is hooked up here, it looks like, 4 homes are visibly "tied in" to the overhead lines. By "tied In" I mean they are ran from the pole in my back yard to the electrical lines in back. Why is it like that and could that be a part of the problem? One time the utility co. came out and was working on them and I asked what happened and they said someone reported sparks and then he said those lines were never tied in right and were dangerous. I thought maybe that would be the end of my high light bills but they still continue. Any suggestions?
