Thanks, but completely unneeded. I'd be a
pretty crappy vet myself, if I didn't. We (the biz) also support all the vet-help places that we can. We're small, so it's not a lot, but we try.
ALSO:
your fridge won't do that. Even if you have an icebox being run by brontosauruses harnessed to a power-wheel. It's almost always something that pushes HEAT, or A/C. But it's WINTER. Sure, you've run it a few times, but not 24/7. I live in Phoenix, AZ (home of the 122F day...) and MY bills are about what yours are, for a house that's nearly 6x the size, and doesn't have other units insulating it side-to-side, top-bottom, etc. I think Paul may be on to something--check to make sure some scumbag isn't stealing your power someplace.
Also...I agree that you should force Ameren to send out someone to do an energy assessment on your apartment, and yes, ask your neighbors. My "next-door" neighbor, whose house is similar to ours (the same custom builder did both), but smaller, was shocked to learn that her power bills were twice ours--and she lived alone. She was running her AC a LOT lower than ours, but an assessment discovered that she had leaks EVERY-where. We'd made sure that all our double-panes were uber-caulked, had the a/c checked and optimized annually, etc. It really paid off.
Lastly: howcum none of you geniuses proffered a solution to my hair suit / hirsute question??? Hmmmmm????
