Just a word of caution about getting the power company to check the power
coming into the house and especially the power coming out of the outlet for
your kiln(s).
If you are paying residential rates, you do NOT want them deciding you need
to pay commercial rates. I pay .08 cents per KWH but commercial rates in
our area are .29 which would amount to a LOT more money when firing that
kiln!
I strongly suggest checking it yourself or calling an electrician -- you
DON'T need the increased costs of commercial rates!
