Basically I am in college and have no money ever. I just moved into this apt a few months ago. I got it because it was the only thing left. The video (if it works) is before i moved anything in. 1 wall unit for heating/cooling. I have the necessary stuff like refridge, microwave, computer, water heater, alarm clock, and lights. I tinted the bedroom windows also. I have two ceiling fans that always run because of the constant heat in my apt. In my previous apt. which was SLIGHTLY smaller than this, I had a central heating/cooling unit. IT was partially broken and I did not find that out until 2 months before I moved out. The bill there with the same stuff I have now was around $125-150 which was high. I have lived here for 2 months and my bill for part of August up till 9/28 came out to be $420 bucks. August(22 days billed) was 196. This month (8/30-9/28) was $224. Everyone I have talked to has a much lower bill than that and that is living in 3-4 bedroom houses. One guy that lives in the same apt complex I do got a $19 bill last month. He is hardly ever there and does not have the same problem with heat hanging out in his apt. My wall unit is from 1990. I talked to the landlord about giving me a new one. They said they couldn't but they did come out here and fix something with it. I have also contacted the power company (Alabama Power) and they checked the meter to make sure it was read properly and of course it was. They also told me that a meter would not speed up if it is broken, it would slow down. Anyways my question is, does anyone know of any way I can solve this problem?! I might be able to buy a multimeter from work on payday.
I just really have no freakin idea how my bill could be this high. It is driving me crazy and completely wiping out my bank account. Anyways sorry if I rambled but I do not know where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
