I'm at a loss of where to look or to get advice etc. Our electric bill is way higher than it should be and we can't reasonable figure out why. WE have energy saver bulbs in all light fixtures (~20W ea). We avoid using the electric stove at all cost. Using an online electric bill estimator we can confirm the obvious three big usages: Refrigerator, dish washer, and furnace fan. Based on the national average for a family of 4 that should account for ~$30 of the bill. However assuming that those 3 items consume the same amount the remaining amount is way too much. Years ago someone recommended to me that it is a good idea to have an electricity usage monitor to use to check for things we are over using electricity with. The first thing I'd check would be the refrigerator etc. Problem is I know nothing about electricity usage monitors to know what brand/model is best to get etc. And I'm hoping at least one person here can give me advice either on what to look for or where to go to get reliable advice.
Thanks
