Reading these good answers, I realized one thing that may cause the problem. If the grill to the compressor outside is dirty and clogged, it will run hotter and use more electricity. It will also cause a replacement to be done. Spray simple green on the coils outside and wait a few minutes before washing it out with a spray hose. If the fins have been bent up then that also might block the air.
As I'm writing this I'm thinking this might be the case for a heat pump. It is important for the summer cooling unit.

Subject: [DIY] Have a Question
For the past year have been getting High Electric Bills The House is all
Electric including hot water hearer air conditioning . Now the cooking
stove is Brand new all the radiators have been rebuilt, the only thing
that is gas is the Dryer. Now as I said usage is been above normal for
the past year. The only thing I can think of is the Electric Hot water
heater. The heater is over 10 years old, and I think it may be running
more than normal but you can not hear it running when your in the
Basement. As I said Have all new Appliances in the House and the only
thing that is older is the Electric Hot water heater. So my question
becomes could the hot water heater be running, could it have bad
Thermostats which are not telling the heater to shut off. When you feel
the Tank thought it is not hot to the touch, and we get hot water. Need
some help with these High Electric bills. any help would be deeply
appreciated.
