How to detect theft of electricity in the apartment?
After the overhaul of the house in our apartment, electricity consumption increased up to about 3000 kW. It was used by us for 2 months that construction was ongoing. At a normal flow rate of 300-500 kW monthly. We suspect that the developer who built an additional 2 floors for his family in the house takes electricity from our apartment. Is this possible? How to detect? The husband found several wires in a new outlet (not through), pulled everything out. The developer sent his electrician, he did again something in the outlet. We pulled out again. We are afraid because this is big money for us. What to do? How to find a free connection?

Hello! And what does the developer have to do with your apartment after repairs? Why do “left” electricians come to you? Apparently you already found a free connection, since the developer is worried about the wiring installed in your apartment. Call a private electrician, he will make an audit of the wiring and will tell you for sure whether the connection is free or not. You can also try to disconnect all electricity consumers from outlets and see how the meter works. If it winds 3,000 kW per month, the readings should change quickly enough. This is where it will be clear if all of your consumers are disconnected, and the meter winds like mad, that means someone has connected to you.
