I think my worst day in my power tracking history was 56kWh. When my electric heat strips kick on, they're 10kW of glowing resistance heat. I've been lucky this winter, a majority of the winter I've been able to heat with a dehumidifier. Looking at my thermostat, I've only had the heat running for 3.75 hours in the past 10 days.

I've got a friend who lives near Roanoke, VA. He sends me photos of his TED 1001 reading over 100kWh per day several times each winter. He sent me a message yesterday and said his power bill was 3337kWh last month!! He's got a 90+ year old house that desperately needs a Thermal Imaging camera and air sealing help.
