I have been battling high energy bills for years. My bill averages 2 to 2/12 times what my neighbors use... and they have a mother-in-law house (which I don't). My main question is, could there be some sort of incorrect wiring or voltage 'draw' that could cause these huge numbers? I average around 50 kwh hours per day when not using a/c or heat. I expect a substantial increase when the unit turns on. But 467 kwh in 24 hours!?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've had 3 a/c companies out, and they all say the units are 'within' specs for load. I just can't believe that. Anyway, check out the attached image of my usage and you will see why I am dazed and confused.

Here are my specs:
- North Texas
- 2500 sq ft all brick House built in 2002
- Caulked windows 3 years ago
- Original ac/furnace units, all electric
- 2 units (2.5 ton and 4 ton)
- 2 45 gallon water heaters
- New smart meter installed 4 months ago. (I was originally thrilled because it seemed like my bill went way down. But then...)
- Power roof vents. These obviously won't be running in 20 degree weather
- New refrigerator, dishwasher and washing machine.
- 3 people in house
- I have a pool, but have had it winterized (no electric at all) the last 2 months
