Home Owners: An Energy Question
If you would be so willing, I'd like to know what your average monthly electricity usage is for your home.

Thanks.

Sorry for not being clear. Actual energy usage, in kWh.

I went to KCPL and looked it up out of curiosity and you're pretty damn close.

It's actually 1027 kWh.

We have a lot of variability in our bill, but druing the winter months (gas furnace) we use 750-1,000 kWh and in the dead of the summer (August) it's been as high as 1,800. A good summer average would probably be around 1,500.

That's for a 2,750ish SF house (750 SF below grade). Just my wife and I in the house, no kids.

I'm almost identical - slightly smaller house ~2500, low months 700, high 1750 ish.

Could probably save 20% in warmer months by completely replacing our 24yr old furnace/central air with a new super efficient one, combined with replacement windows, etc.

I've replaced over half of our lights with CFL's, and am careful about leaving lights on, but hasn't made any difference in Kw usage.

I don't mean to imply we live in a cave or hollow tree.

40'x50' metal building on concrete slab

building came insulated with 6" plastic back walls and roof, outside walls of the living area insulated again with paperback fibreglass

8' 2x2 drop ceiling with 4" paperback insulation laid on that

heat with wood, propane back up. all new HVAC high efficiency stuff

total electric

95% of lighting is the new fangled fluorescent curly bulbs.

large fridge, 10 years old, and two small freezers

we keep hot water off till we need it, and do dishes and shower at that time

do laundry in cold water

hang clothes on clothes line 9 months a year

just me and DW, both 50 years old

water is gravity fed from storage tanks, pump used to pump 500 gallons at a time from spring collection box to 3 storage tanks

live in about 1400 sq. foot area. have a garage insulated and isolated from the living quarters. pantry/storage/laundry/summer kitchen room we don't heat or cool, but could

1 outside door in living area, 3 small double payne windows

usage goes up in the summer with A/C, but it cools easy on a slab
