I have had them reread the meter and they say the reading is correct and all looks fine with the meter. Has anyone had the same experience and/or has an explanation? Please note, I am not arguing about increased rates, only about unexplained usage.
We had the same issue and SECO read our meter twice. I had the HVAC looked at though it was serviced last Sept. It appears that the AC was running more than usual. That is all I can attribute it to. The person who I spoke with at SECO also mentioned that sometimes the outdoor HVAC unit can freeze up which causes it to run continuously. That goes beyond my area of knowledge.
