What would cause an older 240 waterheater to increase my power bill. I
also have electric furnace that regularly gets a new filter each 6
weeks. AC/heater unit (outside) was serviced in late Dec, had both
sequencers replaced. Same goes for electric dryer around October. It
might not be the waterheater at all, its just the only thing that hasnt
needed any immediate attention. I can bet its never been flushed,
elements replaced, or anyother maintenance done to it.

I'm in a 25 year old singlewide mobile home in Northcentral Florida.

Any suggestions?

As others have said, if it is not a rate increase, then I would look at the
water heater.

My daughter had a ruptured element in one that added $175 to her bill one
month. It did not trip the breaker. It just fed 30 amps to ground for a
period of time.
