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.

???? How is that possible? Where did the heat go? What limited it to
30 amps?
