Our electric bill has been running pretty high even though it hasn’t been that cold and we’ve been supplementing with wood heat. Decided to track down the culprit and hooked up an energy usage monitor to one of our 5 sub panels. Gonna check the other 4 over the course of the next few days.

    That’s what I was thinking, too. 5 subpanels for an average residential home is pretty huge. 2-3 is still okay for a 150-200a service, but 5…that’s a lot of circuits….

      Four here, definitely not huge.

      • main 200a but not enough slots
      • sub 100a but more slots
      • sub 100a for wiring the addition someone put on on the 1980s
      • sub 100a for the garage

      Sometimes it’s just history
