My energy bill came today and was 4 times higher than normal! The only thing I can think of that has changed in our home the past 2 months is the addition of my keezer. I imagined a slight spike in energy consumption, but nothing like this!
I called the city utility and verified there wasn't a mix up or a "catching up" of estimated previous bills. We used 4 times the energy as our last billing cycle. We've been using around 15 kWh per day. This time it was 54!
The chest freezer is a Kenmore 13. There is no other model or identification on it. I've attached some photos of the freezer. Anyone ever experienced something like this? Or have the same freezer? It doesn't seem to be energy star compliant, but even so, it shouldn't drain the power at that rate.
Any help is sure appreciated.
