Default Re: Can you help me w/ electric bill?

Yes, I am using it. I found that my water distiller takes about 21 cents to run for 5 hours. The tv and treadmill only uses pennies a day. However they both do draw small amounts of power when not in use, probably a penny a day! I did not know that it would not work on the dryer, I have not tried that yet. Right now, I am checking out the fan. It too seems very low. I think the main big power items are the air conditioner, hot water heater and dryer. It cost about 50 cents to run the dishwasher because of the hot water heater being on for an hour and a half!
My worse power day since I started reading the meter was yesterday. It is because I ran the dishwasher last night and forgot to turn off the hot water heater when it was thru. So, it ran all night.
