Recently finished upgrading to a 200A panel and replacing all the
wiring in the house. Instead of Al entrance cable I used 2" conduit to get from the meter to the panel and ran copper feeds to the panel. The electric company replaced my old ham slicer meter with a digital meter. 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 additional load I added was six 75watt bulbs on two dimmers that replaced one 100watt table lamp, these run 16 hours a day. Also three hard-wired smoke detectors. Are the digital meters more accurate? Is there a way I can test the meter? |
