2000sqft, 2 story bldg, around 2001 construction code.

Summer time avg between 14~17kW/hr used per day; with high number being the laundry day (run the clothes 1/2 dry so as to avoid the use of chemical based fabric softener).

The rest of the summer time (heatwave) comprised of fans, fans and nothing but additional electrical fans running most of the day.

Base consumption during summer time (mainly the fridge) is 8kW/hr day.

Winter time can be averaging between 18kW/hr per day to around 23kW/hr day (peak).

some of the additional factor due to the 2 rather old-fashioned cast iron pumps that run continuously during winter months.

Also: 2 hrs of additional heating supplement using electric oil radiant heater in my bedroom (500watts setting, for the hours between 4~6am before waking up).

I'm in the process of installing a Vanmar HRV this summer, primarily to do with improved ventilation during winter time, and also to recover some of the heat lost during winter months through regular ventilation means.

Q.
