We have computers (yes, multiple) and several appliances that are in an "always on" state.

We also have....erm.... "co-op" type power situation where we live now. Small community partnership setup.

So currently, it's roughly USD $100 or less in the summer, and HAS been as much as USD $500 in the winter. I'm curious to see how this winter will be, since we got our dire frightening almost-burn-the-house-down electric fixed, and the HVAC system repaired.

Last place, on a "budget plan" (average all 12 months, and bill accordingly) was about $400 a month, with VASTLY more inefficient HVAC (because the house was older and had more airgaps.) Last place was also a "proper" utility, known for having obnoxious rates and couldn't really do anything about it.

IF you're using incandescent bulbs and NOT a lot of computers and appliances always-on (because we're geeks, and that's kind of an outlier situation in our age group), then swap to LED's and you'll see a pretty nice sized drop.

(Edit: Both places are houses)
