Outrageous voltage draw on heat cycle
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 9:42 pm
We are talking $635.00 electric bill for one month. My wife and I recently purchased a Double Wide in the country. The unit has a new thermostat which was installed last month. One of the automatic heat/cool kind. After receiving the first bill. A whopping $635.00 for the residence. I shut everything off, turning on big items one at a time. The furnace makes the dial want to jump out of the meter. We are talking 1 turn every 2 seconds. I checked the wiring for the thermostat for shorts, none. I pulled the thermostat and checked the wiring, correct. I checked the dip switches on the thermostat, correct. I checked the thermostat mostly because a history pull of previous electric bills shows an average of $180.00 prior to the thermostat change.
Any ideas? if so, Do you carry the parts?
