November bill just came up on the internet here.
875 kw for $104
Everything in the house is electric (no gas in this area) and I use solar for the pool and misc things in the back yard like path lighting.
Am down a good 15% on useage this year over 2008. Am a energy nazi and other than lights that are on timers, if I am not in the room its turned off.
Also use a "whole house" attic fan instead of the A/C whenever possible.
EDIT, forgot for the two big energy users in the house, electronics. One computer is on ALL of the time, its my server when I travel and network back into the system.
Also am afraid to put the "kill a watt" on the television downstairs. Its a 73" Mitsubishi that I am assuming sucks power. Am also guessing that the Tivo does a bit as its on all the time (has to be) and whenever its on thats two mega-hard drives going.
