I used to live in Santiago and consumed an average of 300Kwh/month (?10Kwh/day). Since I moved to La Romana my average consumption has doubled to almost 600Kwh/month (?20Kwh/day).
After reading many posts here, I started writing down my meter numbers daily. During the day I was using about 1Kwh every 2 hours... Therefore I should have an average of 12Kwh/day not my current 20Kwh/day...
My husband suspected theft so for a few nights we wrote down the meter before going to bed and then again in the morning and low and behold, we averaged 1.35Kwh per hour!!! But after flash inspections at various times in the middle of night, we found nothing suspicious... The ONLY difference in appliances between Santiago and La Romana is one 3.5kilo inversor and an extra fan!
What we suspect now is a faulty installation of our wall A/C (220V/12,000 BTU model)??? Is this a possibility??? Actually it is installed on a 220V line but is it possible to install it on a 110V line? If possible, does it make a difference? Any advice?
