Reply to comment by ktxhopem3276 in School Me on the Property Tax Assessment Appeal by 3RudySquared
I have seen and heard about new assessments happening after a purchase when the purchase price was a certain value over existing assessment. I had heard the flag was $60-70k higher and has no bearing on whether there were improvements or not. Might matter on neighborhood too.

If it’s plugged in it’s using electricity. If you have lots of stuffed plugged in but not used it still will increase your bill. Extra tv in a guest room not used unplug it all sorts of little things like that add up. Leaving lights on in rooms your not in all that will help bring down that bill some.

Do you know if your house has knob and tube? If so you could have a fault in the shielding and its making connection to wood.

I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to split a bill like that between separate units. Each tenant needs their own water meter. I have a 3 unit building and I cover the water.

In the late 90s this was a short lived Rally's location.

Based on some quick googling, it is a thing, however it seems to be only used in mild climates.

It probably isn't efficient or I would have seen it more than twice in 30 years. But it is simple, water heater, pump, thermostat.

It was 100% a second water heater, not a boiler.

Our gas bill just went through the roof, and we just had a new roof installed. We keep the temp at 68° during the day when we’re home, otherwise it’s at 66° at night. Gas rates have definitely gone up.

is a two unit building only having one water meter normal? Seems odd but maybe that’s how it’s done.
really seems like Crown should be paying for this but not sure what the correct legal answer is. Seems ridiculous that you would have to pay for what is essentially a maintenance issue your landlord missed.

I’m not an HVAC expert, so maybe one can chime in, however that seems extremely inefficient. Also you can’t run any rust or declassification inhibitors through the heating system.

I'd be pissed with that arrangement. What if the other unit uses way more water than you? That seems sketch.

Yes, but if you use it for heat you can't also use it for drinking water. There are fancy recirculating dual use water heater/boilers out there as well but I wasn't really talking about those.

That electric is absolutely wild dude, I have a 15 acre farm right by you with electric fences, well pumps, barns, etc and I am nowhere near your bill. Something’s amiss

I got one of these to monitor what I am spending so much on electricity for:
I have to say it has helped. I identified things that were major cause and mitigated when they turn on.
One question would be: DO YOU HAVE HEAT PUMPS?
Heat pumps use a ton of electricity. Even if they are paired with a gas furnace. And with the cold that dipped down into single digits, the heat pumps were very inefficient. Probably using a ton of electricity and not giving off much heat.
My gas furnace allows me to shut them off. Which I did when it was super cold (highs in 20s or lower).
