Probably. My buddy’s brother (what an RI statement) works for one of those companies that “save people money” by helping them switch suppliers, and he said it’s all bullshit.

Yeah I was able to squeeze in a Call to them a little while ago. Was expecting a much longer wait time on hold.

Thanks for the info, you providing a comparable really helps so I know where I “should be” for a monthly bill.
Do you have forced air or baseboard? What about well?

Not to laugh at your misfortune, but lol. Isn’t that just Classic utility behavior? I just got off the phone with RIE and they told me that I can switch providers.

Yeah I’m projected for 100% offset so I’m looking forward to them being switched on.
I wish they made digital gauges for the breaker panel so I could see how much draw was going to each circuit. Then I could really go and hunt down the problem.

I have a dehumidifier in the basement that I shut off and unplug around oct/Nov every year once it begins to cool.
My suspicion is that my well pump may be running a lot but I have no way of telling.

Yeah I work from home once a week, sometimes twice. And even then, laptop, dock, two monitors, and one set of lights. It’s not like I’m mining crypto or something lol.

Is that not common knowledge? Nick may have a point but coming in and stating the obvious isn’t helpful.
I’m not gonna make an itemized list of what I keep plugged in in my home, but it’s really just computer, tv, monitors, a couple cameras. Really basic stuff.

Yeah that was frustrating to hear. Solar based on historical usage, what a joke. I should be able to cover my entire roof in panels and excess goes back into the grid, but then RIE al would have to spend money to make it so the grid can handle two-way traffic.

Propane + forced air heat, propane stove.
Well water
Barely keep any lights on, heat never goes above 66. Don’t use a ton of water. Gone 10+ hours a day. TV runs for maybe a couple hours.
Where does the power go? /shrug

Thanks! I have no plans to zap myself lol. My father used to do electrical on military planes so I’ll have him dust off his tools and come help.
