My electric bill is usually 150 to 300 a month depending on the weather. How could it jump up to 700 all of a sudden? Dominion power said I should have a electrician check the circuits in the house and that is going to cost more money. Has anybody else had this happen??

You should check your thermostat and see if there's a blue light on or anything indicating emergency heating. If so, it's likely that a nigger stole your fuse and you are running on backup. Happens all the time.

If you got a electric water heater you probably got a grounded element. Get a new water heater if its a electric one.

If you live in Reston you most likely have a all electric house. The culprit is likely the water heater or the heat pump. Check to see if the heat pump unit outside is even running. You can call a good company like MR Stride to check it out.

You gotta charge the batts before use
Otherwise you gotta leave em on the charger
But that's bad for the batt
Cords, by comparison, are convenient
Now, let's talk about antenna TV and telephone landlines
