Though it is not definite, running it on 240 can keep your demand charge down because neither side of your service will be supplying more than the other.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????
How is that ?
(quoted from post at 13:35:46 12/26/13) > So if you are running two 120-volt window air conditioners that draw 10 amps each and they are on the same leg of power, your demand is 20 amps on a leg. But if you place them on separate legs of power, now your demand is only 1 amps, get it?
That bizarre and inaccurate statement seems to imply that neutral current is metered. It is not, as anyone who has ever pulled a meter can confirm. The neutral completely bypasses the meter. You can see for yourself, just look at the picture at the link below.

I'll try again and say again it is not definite that any one user would save with a balanced panel because it is only if your utility is measuring demand on your meter due to high use. I did not mean to imply that neutral is metered. If you are being charged demand like our little church is, the way it was explained to me is that the demand meter measures the peak draw and measures it on both legs to neutral in order to get the highest. So if one is significantly higher than the other it will be measured and charged for, and the more out of balance it is the more premium there is.
