The electric company replaced my old ham slicer meter with a digital

First, can I putty or caulk around the wires inside the conduit to
stop the cold air from coming in?

Second, my electric bill is up about 15% since I started. *The only

I'm not sure about putting stuff inside conduit code wise so I'd opt
for simple. Wad up a bit of fiberglass insulation and stuff it in
the end.

When did you change over? How much of your heat system uses
electricity? All the meters should be pretty accurate. Does your new
meter allow the pwoer company to read it remotely? Did you look
closely at the bills to see if any of them are "estimated" rather than
based on actual readings? Few power companies read the meter every
single month.
