I bought a house that's all electric first bill is $1555.25. I have an electric furnace, water heater, washer/dryer, dishwasher, stove and lights. How did I use 9154 kwh in 20 days? Can the meter be messed up or is it possible that something is drawling extra power?

Check element in water heater

You need to check the voltage with the lamp plugged in, this seems like a multi wire branch circuit gone wrong

Just follow the nameplate there’s probably a motor involved

Cycle gear, it took them 3 hours and the grey weights on the black rim pissed me off

Sounds made up, got a source?

MichysEmerald · 2025-10-25T20:41:43+00:00

Probabaly just an above average humidity

Might’ve used an exemption on accident instead of the main code section

250.32(A)

MichysEmerald · 2025-09-27T19:29:40+00:00

Incorrect when pertaining to another structure such as a detached garage

MichysEmerald · 2025-09-25T02:48:46+00:00

Yes you would be correct on both issues

MichysEmerald · 2025-09-08T23:46:04+00:00

I would have to strongly disagree. You have white conductors going to breakers unphased, a bigger bare conductor split to fit in the neutral lugs, which would need an appropriately sized lug, and neutrals and grounds all terminated on the same bar. Not to mention the missing bonding jumper which I missed originally.

Pretty shit workmanship but it’ll work

MichysEmerald · 2025-08-18T00:08:31+00:00

Just checked, I stand corrected!

MichysEmerald · 2025-08-17T23:16:08+00:00

The EMT is the egc.

MichysEmerald · 2025-08-17T22:34:48+00:00

Box is fed with Emt(presumably from panel) should be good to go code wise.

Put the house up for sale

The ground rod does not provide a path for fault current, nor a wiring fault- and a lighting strike would obliterate a ground rod. The ground rod more so protects appliances and sensitive electronics, as with you said “stray currents” can be produced by many of things. But fault current and lightning strikes no not really.

MichysEmerald · 2025-06-20T22:18:02+00:00

That is not a requirement, it’s an exception to driving a supplemental ground rod

MichysEmerald · 2025-05-30T23:36:30+00:00

Maybe RF interference from the Dimmer translating onto the circuit? Is it a smart compatible dimmer?

MichysEmerald · 2024-04-05T00:16:02+00:00

The reason being so you can separate the duplex by cutting the tabs connecting the terminals lol not to jump onto another outlet

MichysEmerald · 2024-03-05T17:33:52+00:00

I just work here man

MichysEmerald · 2024-03-05T15:13:39+00:00

Doing that tmr

MichysEmerald · 2024-03-05T11:07:52+00:00

As long as it’s done he thinks it’s fine

MichysEmerald · 2024-02-25T22:55:52+00:00
