Renter dispute regarding utilities

[Christopher Price]

Hey everyone,

In addition to owning property I also happen to be a renter.  I have a question from a renters perspective.

I have rented a house in Colorado for a little over 4 years.  A couple hundred feet away sits a large warehouse (Roughly 100'L x 40'W x 30'H).  I was told when I moved in that I do not have access to it because the owner uses it for storage.  I have always had very high electricity bills (Avg to twice my neighbors).  I weatherproofed the house as best I could and set the thermostat for 62 in the winter.  

Recently the owner began renting the warehouse to a commercial carpet company and my electricity rose even more.  I called the electric company and they came out and told me my meter is tied to the warehouse.  I called property management and they offered a recourse of getting 2 meters.  Although I understand this is a good way of fixing the future problem, I feel cheated and wonder if I have a recourse for my exorbitant expenses over the last 4 years?

I don't know if this makes a difference, but the ownership of the property changed hands about 1.5 years ago.

Additionally my lease states "The tenant is responsible for all utilities in their name".
