conversation: User (vv83): "This may not even be the right sub to ask this in but I wasn't sure where else. My power bill was over $220 this past month and I'm extremely careful about turning all lights off, keeping the air at 76, and doing everything I can to make sure my bill would be low. This is my first month in this apartment but it just doesn't seem right. They came and re read the meter and said it is correct, is there anything else that could be possibly causing the bill to be so high? "
  Self: "I'd also ask the neighbors what their bills are like. There are so many variables with insulation and appliances that it's tough to know if it's accurate. \n\nIf you have access to the breaker box, I'd shut off all breakers and then see if your meter is still running. If it is, something in the building is mis-wired or someone is purposefully stealing your electricity. "
  User (vv83): "According to the nieghbors who say they run their AC more than I do from what I can gather their bill was around $170. So I think something may be up "
