Arrived to look at electrical equipment after homeowners had a panel replacement done with us and the electric bill has gone up continually since then. I was not able to determine anything drawing crazy high power and found no traces of heat mark or damage to any of the new equipment. All appliances seem to be running normally as they were before. Homeowner has oncor set to come do a study to determine if they can find any faults. Also advised to have the HVAC equipment looked at as the heat pump could be in emergency mode which can cause it to pull more power. Other option are to install a customer supplied energy monitoring system or perform a major troubleshoot and go through all the appliances and circuits.
