Newby with yet another issue. Blue is SUCKING electricity our bill $386 a month

[Chuck Wheeler]

It would also be important to know what
you are being charged per KW for electricity.  Our little RM2652 refrigerator
would cost between $25 ($0.10/KWH) and $64 ($0.25/KWH) a month if run constantly
on electric.  One of the electric heaters will run between $0.20 ($0.10/KWH) and
$0.48 ($0.25/KWH) an hour to operate.  I would look for large continous loads
but my point is that several small loads can add up.  You need to know how much
you used and what you are being charged per KWH.

some. Then we turned off another breaker that was labled in large red letters,

do seem to be an issue here. But now... we also found that the battery charger
breaker is pulling HUGE amounts of elec also. We can't leave it off or our
batteries will be sucked dry. When those breakers are OFF... the meter runs
normally...
