ParticipantJust my luck… since today marks the first day my SDG&E cycle begins, I was fully prepared to keep all the biggest culprits unplugged.
Turns out I left a sliding door open over the weekend and the wind and rain blew quite a bit of water through the screen and onto the hardwood floors.
So now I need to run a blower (290 watts) and my dehumidifier (265 watts) for a few days to try and bring out the moisture from the wood.
At least I know this will add ~$2.80/day to the final bill, and can subtract it from my savings calculation to see how everything else worked out.
If it’s not one thing it’s another (but hey, it’s not an apartment, I know that)

February 20, 2009 at 6:41 PM #350866ParticipantBILL UPDATE. So I just got my bill for last cycle, and something is odd. It is SO LOW that it doesn’t seem correct. Mid-cycle I unplugged lots of things, used the Kill A Watt to find the problems, and made changes I estimated would reduce my bill by $100-$120 at most. Well, the bill came and the TOTAL was $92 (down from near $500 last month). I dont know how this could be other than error. I’ll hsve to report back next month to see if this was just an anomoly.

ParticipantIf they are checking your meter every two months and billed the first month on an estimate of past use, your bill came out cheaper based on the things you did but possibly averaged between the two payments.
