Electric Meters switched?

Hello BP. I currently own a duplex that has separate electric meters for each unit. My unit in which I am living in is a one bedroom one bathroom apt. The other unit us a 3 bed 1 bath apt. with 3 people living in it. My electric bill last month was $220 which seems extremely high to me for a one bedroom apt with one window AC unit. The billing cycle is now 5 days in and I have been out of town for 4 of these days. It is now saying that I have consumed $35 in electricity when I have only been there for one single day. I am sure that the lights are all off and the AC is off. Imp thinking that there is a chance that we have the meters switched and my tenant is paying for my meter and I am paying for there's. Can anybody advise me on how to correct this and or verify that the meters are for what unit.
