Household Electricity

Loss and excess consumption

Good, I write to see if you can guide me, I have noticed that the electricity bill comes a lot of consumption for a high price and I have consulted with friends and have more things than me and pay less. I write from Argentina. I only have a tube tv, a led tv, the refrigerator and a pc, I make pc repairs but the machines are never on 24 hours. Disconnect everything from the sockets and the meter keeps turning (it is analog) it rotates quite slowly but it does (with thermal and circuit breaker on, if I turn off the meter does not turn). Disconnect the photocell and a reflector with sensor in case it was that and keep turning. Consumption: 1tv led 90w 12 hours approx on 1tv tube 90w 8 hours approx 1 refrigerator 500w 24 hours 2 fans 70w each one is used almost all day and the other about 12 hours 1 cpu source 700w 80 plus bronze 24 hours 1 19 "24 hour LED monitor and well 1 modem and router and 2 TV decoders that I don't think consume much., 5 lights, 3 outside all LEDs that only light at night approximately 9 hours and 2 in 1 of the kitchen and another of my room, all between 9 and 11w. The month 11 of 2017 was consumed 180 kwh and came $ 500 and the month 12 of 2017 came $ 1000 and there was a consumption of 324 kwh (always having the same things as the month 11 and giving it the same use)

My question is why in the province like Bs As the billing issues have changed a bit but you talk about changes in consumption. Verify a theoretical loss. Do you have an air conditioner?

If I have, but less than 2 weeks, so that is not the problem. I will have to search and disable room by room

Hello friend, if you disconnected absolutely everything and the meter keeps turning, you have a loss to ground somewhere in the installation of your house, if the pipe of the installation is very old it can be metal and some cable is losing to ground, you have that look part by part and see how well it is and isolate parts of your installation to detect the loss, you will have to interrupt the supply by parts, until you find the loss, and change that cable, or directly change the entire installation, if You see that it is very damaged.

The mouths are made of metal, pipes are made of PVC, there is no grounding and the problem is that it is all in a single circuit, sockets and lights. I will see if I can interrupt rooms, although I will have to disarm the whole house practically

That is the problem, the job of finding a loss is really complicated, especially if you do not have inspection boxes where you can interrupt the circuit, but it is the only way.
Start by checking the boxes of the light keys and outlet, usually where these problems occur.

Take out the rack, check the circuit, leave the rack out and check the meter, and so with everyone, watch out if there are guys when you leave the rack out and connect the thermal to check the meter if it keeps spinning.

The problem is in my room from what I saw, disassemble the ampalmes and leave all the sockets and light disconnected and look at the meter and did not turn, I have connected to an outlet an alarm sensor in the window, those of opening, remove it and it seemed that the loss stopped, I connected it again and the loss returned, then disconnected it again to make sure and the meter kept turning. I will keep looking but I think I will choose later to make the new installation, it is already very old.

If it is very old it is usually the best, a hug.

Thank you for your vote, and the installation you can change by stages yourself, use the old cables to pass the new ones, put silicone spray on the cables before passing them, they run much easier.
