Yesterday's high temperature was around 70° yesterday — a most welcome change from the temperatures we have experienced lately.
It may have gotten a little cold during the night, causing the heat to kick on. I don't know that for sure, but I do know that my electricity consumption went up.
Perhaps that was because I was away from home so much on Friday and, as a result, the appliances that use comparatively little electricity by themselves but, when combined with other appliances, can have an impact on consumption were not running.
They were running yesterday, and I spent most of yesterday at home. I had my TV on, and I had the light in the kitchen on — and other things were used during the day, too (i.e., my computer) — so that may account for the increase.
As I said yesterday, my consumption in the 24–hour period from Friday morning through Saturday morning was about 4½ kWh. Yesterday morning's reading was 8046.
My reading this morning is between 8055 and 8056 so my consumption appears to have more than doubled.
It's a mystery to me, but I'm happy whenever my consumption is less than double digits — and it looks like my consumption in the last 24 hours managed to stay below double digits (albeit just barely).
