2690sf - only utility is electric, ok butane gas bottle for cooking - almost insignificant use - one 25Kg bottle lasts about 4 months (often more) and costs 14 euros.

Electric usage 580Kw/month average.
Oil fired central heating with additional home made air source heat pump.
Last years oil use was about 200 litres (currently costs around $1.25/litre).
Heat pump use is average 36Kw a day to run (I have it separately metred to measure consumption).
Summer time (around 6 months) little grid electric usage - we have 1Kw solar panels + batteries + inverter.
Solar hot water from roughly february to november.

Own well so no water charges, own septic tank so no sewage charges.

We pay (with all taxes) $US 0.255/KWh
