Our retail space has a Electric circuit breaker, which can control all in our space and also some basement, which is not our space. There was huge increase in our utility bill recently and doubting that someone in basement maybe used our electricity. Some plugs in basedment doesn't work if we turn our breaker's switch off. Is this means we are paying electricity for someone when they use these plugs in basement? If not, any other way to investigate this matter?

turn off all breakers that do not go to anything in your space...dont allow anyone access to your breaker box if you still suspect that someone is still using your power turn off main breaker and then check you meter to see if it is still running...if it is call your power company to check this out for you....

Keep the breakers to the basement off. then lock your breaker box or room to it. Shut off all breakers and check your meter. If still running contact Elect company
