very high electric bills
my tenant had a $350 electric bill last month, almost 3000 kwh. 1600 sqft brick house built in 2005. What is the most likely culprit for this? I have someone coming to check out the ac this week anyways. Any other possibilities or things I should check? He said he's had a bill like this before. He also has in the office 4 computer screens and multiple computers running 24\7 for his business. I didn't believe him at first but he showed me the bill. It wasn't even that hot in Houston last month.
All ideas are appreciate. Any electricians opinions here?

Usually the highest energy usage for any home is the heat pump/air conditioner. Unless this person is cranking down the air to keep his business servers cool, there must be a glitch in the billing or the meter may be broken. I believe you can call the electric company and have someone check out the problem if it happens to be the meter.
