Hi There,
I live in a 2-unit (Upper/Lower) Duplex Unit in Buffalo NY.
Both apartments are identical and neither include Gas/Electric Utilities in Rent (Rent only includes, water & garbage)
I blew a fuse the other day and found that the Main Basement Stairwell lights (not a huge deal) are on my electric, as well as THREE Double Halogen Motion Lights along the driveway/lot...
Thats 6 flood lights on my electric -- and one stays on constantly, the other two stay on if its raining/snowing as they are apparently sensitive.
I cannot just shut the breaker off because it also controls the lights in the two bedrooms and bathroom.
What do I do at this point? I am paying for lighting in Common Areas....
I attempted to map out my breaker box and there are three other fuses I cannot seem to figure out what they control... I am assuming 2 are for the furnace and hot water... (they would usually be on separate ones I'm assuming??) but then there's still a 3rd that doesn't shut off anything in my apartment...
Please advise what to do from here...
I'm happy @ my apartment and do not want to move, but I don't think its fair i'm paying for common area lighting in a driveway for 3 Houses... especially considering I don't even use the side door that they are for...
