2400 sq ft, north Texas ~2500 CDD and 2500 HDD, all electric. Septic, so only pay for incoming water.

Water: $25 (40+ in summer watering the veggie garden)
Baseload electric: $50 *
Total electric incl HVAC: $100 **

Total bill is about $0.08 / kWh. Was 0.07 last year, going up to 0.10 next year. Thanks EPA and CSAPR and utilities who didn't upgrade until the last minute.

* should go down now with the Geospring heat pump water heater.
** was 140 with the old central heat pump. New 16-seer helps a ton!
