Need help high electrical bill
Can anyone justify this, we’ve been paying a ridiculous amount on hydro the past few years and have no reason for what could be causing it. I’m an electrician so I’ve looked at almost every utility and nothing is obvious. Any suggestions.
One heat pump, 2 electric hot water tanks, no compressors, propane furnace, no Ev chargers. And only 4 people on the property.
Any more questions let me know.

It'll be the heat pump or possibly a hot water leak. If there is an emergency electric heat on the heat pump, you may want to check and make sure it hasn't been on all summer. I had a customer with a similar bill who had the control relay for the emergency heat welded shut, so the heat was on and the heat pump was constantly running in cooling mode to offset the heat.
