Hi all. Because I didn't want to be "that guy" who starts a thread and then disappears (not like you're all waiting around for this, but....) thought I'd let you know what ended up being the issue. I had the power company come out and I worked with the tech by shutting off certain high-use...

Yeah, I know Dana...I was just getting frustrated that he was being flaky. He came today and swapped it out. There are no water leaks at all. He also checked the breakers, listening for noises and feeling for anything hot. He was stumped as well. So I guess the only thing left to do is...

Hi - I recently replaced a 30 year old, 80 gallon electric water heater with a new Rheem 65 gallon. I replaced it on the same day as my meter is read in April and seemed to be working fine, until I got my next bill and it was $100 higher than my one from the year prior (mild winter for us, no...
