3200 square foot colonial, my bill this month is $347. We do have a hot tub, so thats a fair amount of electricity. No heat pumps here.
Filled up the tank for the 2nd time in the last 12 months, we dont use a ton of heating oil, 2x6 construction with spray foam insulation and smart thermostats in the entire home. Makes a huge difference.
​
Entire home is all LED lights, inside and outside. Our biggest consumers of power are (not really in order):
- Oven
- Dryer
- Hot Tub
After those, everything else is minimal draw. (in the winter)
In the summer it climbs to as high as $500 for a month with the stand up A/C units we use in the home, my plan is to install a couple of heat pumps to dehumidify the house and "cool it" so that I am not using the ridiculously inefficient A/C units all the time.
