    I do, most of the time. A while back I tracked my monthly electricity usage and it ranges from 200-700kWh a month. That includes cooking, heating and hot water too, one of the first things I did when getting my house was move everything to electricity and get the gas disconnected.

      That’s surprising. I live in an area with no gas connections, so everything is electric. We average a little over 1000kwh a month every month.

      I do live in a hot place so we rely on air conditioning a lot, maybe that’s the difference.

        Surprised it would be pretty much the same amount every month, does your area not really have a winter/summer?

          DFW part of Texas, it’s mostly hot throughout the year. I let my thermostat get a bit warm when no one is home to save on energy cost there.

          The winters here get cold, but not that bad and not for very long so the heater doesn’t need to be on that much. Usage does go down during those months. We peak around 1400 or so in the hottest months.

          My usage is so consistent I happily took an energy plan that was more expensive unless my energy usage stays between 1000-2000 kwh, where they give a $100 usage credit.
