30 kWh per day would be about 1200 watts per hour on average. 900 kWh per month would cost me about $80/per month. My winter bill runs about 180! Of course we still run some air conditioning even in the winter.

You have an electric oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, electric lights, TV(s), computers and of course heating and cooling. You will be surprised what power some of these things use!
It's a gas unit so all the electricity is used for is the fans and the control unit and what not.
