Electricity consumption? How many kwh do you use day year?

pinballlooking · 04-08-14, 12:08 PM

Ok let’s try this.
Tell us is your hot water electric?
Do you heat with electric? AC?
What is you average day summer / winter.
What is your yearly electric usage?
Add other info like EV car pool hot tub etc…
house 1 bedroom 2,3.
dryer elect or gas?

This really seems to different house to house. Different parts of the country.
This group may be on the conservative side but it still will be interesting.

Hot water is electric. Dryer is gas. No EVs.

My kitchen has in floor electric heating, I very rarely use it. I do not have A/C, just ceiling fans and I use box fans at night to vent the house.
Average monthly usage is 360 kWh over the past 5 years. Winter is more since the furnace takes up more power. Summer usage is around 200 kWh/month.
Yearly electric usage is 4,200 kWh over the past 5 years.

Haha, I forgot until after I posted, there is an older thread with this same idea:

That was posted a while ago, there have been a few updates to my house since then haha.

My usage was o.oo per day this March.

And we carried forward 84 kwh. we made more power than we used that is always a good month.

We used 1,492 KWH but 95% heat was elect. 48.12 kwh per day this is charging our Chevy Volt two times a day weekdays and one time a day on weekends. 24 kwh a weekday.
I will post this rest of the info later.
