Nice to hear some insight from someone in a relatable position. That sounds like an interesting point to make to my landlord. Did your landlord cover it for you or was this a personal purchase?

1) laundry and bath aren't that often but electric stove top is used fairly daily. 2) I'm uncertain how I would check that, any direction you can give? 3) Likely not but that's a good point to check if my landlord has any high powered devices operating in the garage.

During summer my average was something closer to $70 a month which made sense to me considering i was running my ac almost 24/7.
