That’s well over twice my own family’s consumption for our 4200 sq ft home in the mid-Atlantic.

That said, the EcoHub software looks interesting.

We set the a/c to start once we get to 80F and the heater to turn on at 65F. This is 2600+SF home in CO.

Plus the volt isnt exactly cheap maybe there house is practically a mansion.

Maybe in the days of having 100 watt incandescent light bulbs in every socket with half of them left on all day!

I just double checked my bill. 20Kw a day. (Ranch house, about 2300 sq ft.)

I don’t think many people who are really trying to be green are eating 54Kw a day. (And I’ll admit, I have a long way to go before I feel I have done my best to conserve.)
