I rank #100 out of 100 with Detroit Edison
« on: October 21, 2013, 05:48:20 PM »
I rank #100 out of 100 with Detroit Edison - Home Energy Report.
I used 177% more electricity than my neighbors.

They suggest replacing with Energy Star Appliances.....phew thankfully they didn't suggest reducing my tanks.

I can't just blame the tanks, my teenage daughters don't know how to turn off a light switch. Plus with the AC, TVs, computers, chargers and not stop laundry I am surprised the meter hasn't overheated from spinning so fast.

Any risk that the local PD might have you on watch for being a grow house using that much more electricity than all the neighbors?

Did Edison send you a special mailer with that information or was it part of the standard billing?

I agree - Edision must have some sort of program going on because I was around the same !

Between the pool, tanks, AC, TV, computers, hair driers, curling irons, toaster oven, dryer, my electric bills are outragious.....

If they watch long enough, they see people leaving the house with clear bags :)
It was a special mailer, that contained a 'Home Energy Report'.   I am sure I was targeted.

Maybe you guys need to figure out how to use solar or wind turbine for your fish rooms. 

Then you could buy more fish, and tanks.

I feel better.  Mine was only 77% more than my neighbors.  A lot more than my 'efficient' neighbors.  Most of the people on my street are retired, only like 4-5 families with small kids so less laundry, no fish tanks, etc...I'm surprised I'm not higher.  :)

Consumers said we were 170% or something for our block or however they do it. But our bill was also 300 plus dollars then it dropped down to 140 the past couple months... we asked them why it was so high when we were using less and they could tell us.
