I am at my wits end - and my landlord doesn't seem into helping me with this issue. I rent a 2br apartment that is heated with gas - my electric bill is $200! I have checked the fuse box and the one thing that keeps my meter spinning is the one fuse with the furnace hanging on it. Now, I have turned the furnace off at the thermostat and the meter is still spinning. The furnace won't come on (I can't hear the clicking sound nor is there warm air coming from the vents)
I have no idea what causes this and feel like there has to be an explanation why the furnace is eating all the electricity even though it's turned off via the thermostat. I wish I could provide what model the furnace is but I can't even locate it in my apartment or the common areas. There is some sort of basement but I am not brave enough to venture down there (it looks very creepy).
Anyhow, if anyone could help me, this would be great! Because I can not afford $200 a month for Comed PLUS people energy for gas. Thank you!
