Vampire zones within the house
Strip off those sheets and turn up the heat. Even the worst vampires can be governed when the heat is turned up.
You can look at the electric meter in the loft or on the wall in your kitchen and try to measure how much you’ve been using your home as an air conditioner. That is useful if you’re in an area prone to rain.
But when electricity arrives cold and dry, things can go pear-shaped.
The systems that create electricity from the heat in the air are cheaper and less energy efficient than the electricity that comes from the air coming from your home.
So, when you use an air conditioner to cool your home, you’re reducing the air that should be getting through your windows and when you leave the house, some of that cool air comes with you.
That’s an indication of the vampire energy you’re affecting.
You can also see for yourself how much energy you are using in your room just by taking a look at the wiring. But the problem is once you get to the threshold of your comfort zone you’re not cooling that much and the room is a bit hotter than when you entered it.

If you’re using one of the cheap and fast air conditioners around you, you’re pushing that vampire power towards the owner. You can’t control it. You’ve just got to leave it to one day and kick the top up again.
You can see the effect of vampire energy on the black and white thermometer that’s in the window above the sink in your kitchen – it has the radius of the table there and the right and left quadrants meet in a square.
The edges of that square are all defined by where you are at that time of day. The length of the bottom and top of the rectangle is up to a ceilingful of one metre and extends to the verge of a space measuring about six metres by 20 metres.
By the time you’ve got to that square of utility base, you’ll know you’ve got a vampire energy problem. By the time you’ve got to square with no vampires, you’ve got a power gap, and you’re a vampire even if you don’t realise it.
You have your bills, you have the power companies, and you’ve got to work out ways of dealing with it.
