    You ONLY use 300kwh!!! I guess the stove and water and dryer being gas helps a lot!

    Gooder on ya', Milleo.
    That's a little less than our normal use. With elderly FIL here, there's quite a bit more laundry, so the electric dryer gets a lot of use.
    Electric stove/oven too, but nat. gas WH.
    The lights we keep on in the evening might total 40 watts....they're all LED.:) LCD TV that gets watched for a couple hours every night.
    Oops, one of the lights is a 15 watt tube over the sink. It's our night-light.

    Most of my usage is hot water, but after I shower in the morn I turn water heater Back off and the tank will take care of the rest of the day for dishes and hand washing etc. the dryer uses about 5 kwh for 1 big load, I also wash clothes in cold water and don.t watch much TV.

    Yeah, I think I've sorta narrowed down the dryer to about 3-4 Kwh per load.

    2 smoke dragon stoves full roar, several electric heaters, oven baked casseroles, and catch up on laundry with electric inside vented dryer. Yup. ( we have since gutted 1/2 the house and uber insulated it before reconstruction).
