  1. For what it's worth, my outside thermometer isn't that accurate. It trends correctly, but isn't close to the right temp. Im also not sure at what temp it tells my propane assist to kick in.

     

    Mine was set to assist when 30 or below. I changed it to 20 but I may just nix it. HVAC on the way tomorrow I will see what they say before I do anything.

  2. Measurement update. With just basement lighting 4-5 cfl bulbs and a tv for the kids total draw was 4.5A. Heat pump draws 15.5A. Aux heat brings it way up to 90A! Something is telling to kick on the aux so maybe the outside temp sensor or thermostat maybe. I may just remove the aux command wire since it's getting warmer.
  3. Very cool, a number of Delaware peeps here I see.

     

    Just had my wisdom teeth out this morning, so it'll be a few days until I can start running logs to get my tune dialed in.

    I do live in the middle of nowhere and I offer my logging services if you watch the kids.

  4. All electric. Guy gave me the expected run around about the meter. "Our equipment is 99.96% correct. " since its a digital meter he told me to have my wife watch it while I flip breakers. Guess he didn't understand the fifth time I told him I'm a single dad right now and I don't think my 4 year old would sit still that long. Purchased an amp clamp today and I'm going to poke around. There is a stack of old hvac work orders where they had the equipment tested and I'm going to check the numbers. Trying to weigh the order in which I call for help. If I call an electrician he wont work on hvac or water. Hvac wont work on electric or water. Plumber wont work on electric or hvac. YAY!
  5. Thanks for the replies guys. I do have a heat pump. Took my air handler covers off last night and saw some resistor elements. I'm guessing these are the emergency heat parts. The outside unit runs with heat and electric it just changes the way heat is dispersed. I do leave the thermostat on auto mode but I turn it off when it has been nice enough to open the windows.
  6. Or maybe someone that had a similar issue that can help. Purchased this house last year and I was hesitant about it being all electric but we went for it. May-December were "normal" usages per google searches and were anywhere between 900kwh and 1400kwh. Jan-Mar have been 2700, 4300, and 4400 kWh respectively. WTF?! No I don't have a grow operation as that seems to be the first response per google. I run the AC way more than I do the heat. Majority of the house is LED. I run my work lights in the garage maybe 2hrs a day. I rarely weld.

     

    I've checked the water heater coils as that came up a common thing as well. I would look into a home energy monitor but the chain stores only sell ones that monitor the two busses.

  7. If anyone else on CR reads this thread and decides not to engage in conversation....

     

     

    ...are they being close-minded?

     

    Sorry. I was caught up in reading about a professor that was trying not to vomit when a soldier was given a first class seat.

  8. Byers has had 4 listed for a while. All 10-12k over msrp. I think a majority or the hype is over now that they are sitting on lots. The 16's were pre-order only afaik. Not as bad as the GT350's though. I think they have them 20-22 over msrp and they aren't even the "R spec".
  9. Gidi and jeff both pushed for it at last years shootout. A handful of cars were close. He just did it first. It was nice to see the team excited about it as much as they were. Its irritating walkin around the pits with drivers that act like its just another day.
