2/23/22: I stopped back into the house to check the amount of kilowatt hours used in this past hour and to set the alarm. Do you use to kilowatt hours in that hour at $.12 that’s $.24 an hour times 24 hours times 365 days divided by 12 equals $175 per month. The difference is what the HVAC system has been costing you.
2/23/22: I found the lights under the soffits in back by the pool and inside the enclosed lanai area on upon arrival I shut them off. I found the thermostat reading 80° inside it but it was at 78 so it’s not cooling properly. There is no condensation out at the effect tube which there should be if it were pulling humidity from the home. It’s normally indicates a coolant refrigerant type issue. I’ve been checking the kilowatt usage and found over a period of time your home is using One kilowatt hour every 4 to 5 minutes which means that you’re using 12 to 14 kWh per hour at $.12 per kilowatt hour multiplied out for the day with means somewhere around $35/per day. I shut the thermostat off and the breakers off to the air conditioner to monitor the amount of kilowatt hours used between now and when I drive back by after going on the rest of my route. This will tell us how much we’ve reduce the amount of electricity you’re using in that period of time by shutting off the air conditioning system. I also checked to see what the pool heater was set at it is set at 60° and it reads 73° the spa is set to 88° so in this case only the spa would be drawing any power to keep it up at 88° much like maybe a hot tub would do on someone’s funny.
2/23/22: Both screen doors to the lanai were locked upon arrival and after departure. The pool on the far side appears to need the edges scrubbed however on the near side of the home they are fine see photo below. The pool equipment continues to leak at the filter ring assembly now it’s leaking in three spots instead of just one. I checked both garage GFIs neither were tripped. I also checked the garage attic for evidence of pests, I found no obvious evidence. The sink in the master bedroom bath closest to the toilet now has a low flow situation that appears to be like the one we had across the way in the sink next to the shower.
