What were you looking at when SEEing the amps go down/ volts go up?
The power company is
throwing the volts, we are using the kwatts .... 120 vac should be the constant in this equation, the KWs used per hour change with the 'hair dryers' all plugged in and turned on...... check the meter outside your house/ apt, those are not volts going through it making it spin faster and charge you more....kws per hour.
