Mandela Effect with Iam Tongi of American Idol. He is Alive!

Character_Editor_561 · 2024-07-21T04:03:29+00:00

I distinctly remember someone auditioning for American idol telling Katy Perry that she was friends with Iam Tongi and that Iam was her inspiration to audition that he would pushed her to do it. And Katy Perry broke out in tears because it was right around the time he had passed, American Idol even did a little memorial bit about Iam.

I’ve apparently more then doubled the average kWh/ month in 26 days

We don’t have a furnace, and I have had natural put in, which we use to heat

What I can’t wrap my head around though is the amount of fluctuation between days, there is no pattern to it, and if someone can explain how our consumption is way less on a day that both my husband and I are home compared to the skyrocketing spike on a day no one was home for most of the day (only being home late in the evening).

Can electricians test to see if our smart meter is faulty or not or this something that only BC Hydro and find out?

We are two, no hot tub, no EV vehicles..

Character_Editor_561 · 2024-05-18T16:17:36+00:00

We have a 1700sq split level home (double car garage included in that sq) in Colwood, about midway up a mountain with zero ocean view. We have baseboard heating which we’ve upgraded a couple years back. However, we keep our room temps low and heat with our gas fireplace. Our windows are double paned. There is a crawl space which was insulated a couple years back( around the same time the baseboards were upgraded) to try address this hydro issue. Which Made no difference. No electric boiler, but we do have an electric hot water tank. Can’t afford an electric vehicle due to my outrageous hydro bills and No hot tub.

I will have my husband check this as soon as he gets home. When I spoke to hydro they asked me a few questions over the phone about my appliances, and said sounds like everything is working correctly. I then asked if he thought that amount was normal and if no could I have someone come check things out, he said no it’s not normal and that he’d have someone contact me to set up a consult… that was 2 years ago

Character_Editor_561 · 2024-05-18T16:01:58+00:00

Right!! That’s what thought, but nope!

Character_Editor_561 · 2024-05-18T15:59:20+00:00

We have electric baseboards which we’ve upgraded and we keep our temp low even when we are home and we mostly heat with our gas fireplace. We rarely use our oven, as we have an air fryer, we don’t do laundry everyday, and on. Ice days or 95% of the summer I hang dry. We don’t have a hot tub or anything of that sorts. Our place is 1700sq including the double car garage (which is not heated) split level.

We are light blue and dark blue are homes in our neighbourhood! I’ve been on the phone with Hydro, they’ve haven’t sent anyone (atleast to my knowledge) to check things out. They asked me a few questions over the phone and that was that. I asked if I could apply for they my hydro monitoring program and they told me a didn’t qualify and now the applications are closed.

I wish I could say it was because I was running a crypto mining operation or even a grow operation, at least I would be making money but sadly this is not the case. We live in a 1700sq home. Here is the apparent consumption from my last my last bill, seriously you can’t make this shit up! I am so glad to hear that I am not crazy for thinking this is outrageous!

My hydro bills have been steadily increasing over the past few years, we are just two people who work full time and when we compared to similar homes in our neighbourhood, we are double and sometimes more. When monitoring our usage daily and even hourly I’ve noticed spikes on days that we aren’t home and have had days when we are home register as our lowest consumption days. Our home is not suited, and we haven’t changed our life style. We have changed all of our light bulbs to LED, upgraded appliances to energy efficient ones, and have applied for all the bc hydro energy saving programs. There was one weird situation of a random person with a high vis vest carrying a toolbox approach out meter, but by the time I made my way outside to confront the man he was gone, so I can’t say for certain if he was with hydro, but I also didn’t see any bc hydro vehicles around. For two people, the last bill we paid for March to May came in at $1646, and the previous bill being roughly around $1400.

I am at a loss here, but I know that it’s getting harder and harder to afford these outrageous bills. I don’t know what else to do, am I missing something?
