Also the way electricity is metered, you may have one phase that sees most of your usage and the other is running very light. Cmp is reading the higher phase and billing you according to that, assuming both are the same. (Electrical metering is a joke and a scam in my opinion)

You have 2 phases of electricity fed into your home.

It may be as simple as some simple breaker/circuit labeling and some monitoring of usage of circuits and rearranging on the circuits in your panel.

Ah, now that is interesting. Do you have suggestions for further learning?

Best thing you can do is some in depth circuit metering. If you comfortable with electricity, it’s pretty straight forward. If your uncomfortable with it, an electrician will be able to set it up for you. It’s not an overnight project, I would recommend doing it for a month and calculating your loads.

It won’t be a 2 pole breaker, it will be your single pole breakers that are doing it.
