Adding natural gas...
Edited since I messed up the kWh -> Natural Gas conversion. Now includes gasoline at 9.7 kW·h/L or 36.6 kWh/US gal.
Electric: 16.8 kWh/day (includes water heater)
Gas: 15.69 kWh/day equivalent (heat = 13 and cooking = 1)
House Total: 32.5 kWh/day
Gasoline: About 36.6 kWh/day
Grand total: 69.1 kWh/day for two people
In the past week I've added the ohh so lovely dual flush conversion kit (thanks!), a water heater timer, and attic insulation to a difficult to access addition. I've set the timer to turn on the water heater for 1 hour in the morning and 1 in the evening. I think this is probably overkill - it may do better to turn on only once per day. Any suggestions?

Reason: Miscalculated Therm to Kwh conversion
