it was due to an old air conditioner that was already repaired many times and likely had current leakage, and too low a horse power to cover the area. i had it replace, got one with an inverter that disconnects once the set temperature is achieved. I also tinted the windows to cool down the place faster (its fairly easy to do this DIY and cost 1/10 the price of outsourcing it). This brought down the bill to 2/3 of what it used to be and i hope hit my ROI within 7 months. i also noticed that there is very small current that still flows when the equipment is connected to the plug point even if its not turned on, so i made it a habit to switch off all the circuit when not in use.
