Electric reading / dehumidifier

**Stickysticky** · 16-09-20, 11:04 AM

This could be the dumbest question ever but my dehumidifier states 0.24kwh is there any chance it could use more than that ?

my electric bill has gone abit mad this month like nothing I have seen before and I'm just trying to pin point why.

My tent with lights on the highest (400w) dehumidifier (250w) and all the other shit comes in at 800w - 900w max.

According to my bill I have been running 2872w constant 24hours a day for 22 days

1493kwh over 22days

From April 17th - July 31st (2 and half months) I used 1563kwh and that was with tent on and I have some how used the same is 22 days

Only things I can think of was dehumidifier or bouncy castle which was on for about 6 hours max. Slightly confused maybe haha maybe it was just Blackpool illuminations for them 22 days

I paid the fucker anyway as I can't see it being wrong but it just doesn't make sense to me

Don't they usually run bouncy castles off petrol generators lol? Or has health and safety deemed them too harmful to ppl

Based on my dehumidifier at 180w/24hr and an online calculator, it should cost me 81p per day

Price don't bother me it's just how the meter reckons I've ran 2800w 24 hours a day for 22 day and my tent would have been 900w max and that's me being generous it probably wasnt even over 800w and at times would have been less than 800w, for 10 of them days I didn't even have the dehumidifier.

Even if the bouncy castle is High in watts is was in for 6 hours so still shouldn't average out to all of that. I'm stumped
