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.)
4BR house (plus some partially finished space above & below that we rarely use) in the US midwest, gas heat (radiators, so there's an electric pump I guess), AC on the second floor, whole-house dehumidifier, gas water heater. Winter thermostat settings are 62-70, summer 74-78. Furnace, AC, fridge, and most kitchen appliances are relatively recent -- about 12 years for the furnace and AC, newer for the rest. We have a few computers that are always on, but I don't think they're energy hogs (Mac Mini, iMac, Tivo).
