So, um....

What's your electric bill look like in the summer and winter, everybody? I'm trying to get a better feel for what's "normal". (If you live off-the-grid in the woods, disclose that upfront, thanks.)

Since darkoshi wants more details: average 350-400kWh/month @$0.07-ish/kWh, for about $40. No AC. We're in Denver in a 2000 square foot house with really excellent windows downstairs and only okay ones upstairs.
All our lights are either led or fluorescent, and as the f's die I'm replacing them with led. Because it's nearly a desert, we use the clothes dryer about once a month, so our main load is the oven.

2000 sq at $40 a month is mad impressive. (All our windows suck and one door, one window and one patio door aren't set right/aren't even sealing all the way, with sun shining through gaps in all three.)

Not as much as you'd think: heating is by gas, which is more. The comment about the windows was to explain why we don't have/need AC, which would be the biggest electricity usage during the summer.
