I heard of an unknown " short" in my city costing a guy 150 kwh a
month, [if I got the kwh # right, or about $26.00 a month at todays
prices , I think, untill a plumber nearly died redoing the main meter
from the shock by removing the ground wire. Do your own energy audit,
and be carefull. Or call an electrician or the electric co, Shorts
happen.....
