Oddly enough, no, I am not sure my neighbor isn't running up the bill.
Our neighbors started renting out their house next door (it is the same
model as mine) about two years ago. It does not have a pool but then
neither do I as far as electricity goes... They say their bill has
always been under $100 per month. Recently they had tenants move out
with new ones moving in, who immediately moved out saying half their
electricity doesn't work. After that our bill went down a bit but then
new tenants moved in (and presumably 'they' fixed the problem) and now I
have an even higher bill.
Every time I have SDG&E come out to check the problem they hang an
ammeter on their side of the main and say 'Yup, it is working.'
You do have an electric watt-hour meter that you can see, I presume.
And you can watch the spinning wheel. As a really drastic
trouble-shooting tool, turn off all the circuit breakers to your house
and see if the wheel stops going around. Do this while SDG&E has
their ammeter attached and see if it goes to zero.
