Thread Name: BS: how many kilowatts do you use
Subject: RE: BS: how many kilowatts do you use
Our average use in summer is around 60 KWH per day (1800 KWH per month) which sounds high, but that includes firing our electric pottery kiln an average of three times a week at about 100 KWH per firing. Our wintertime usage is lower because we heat with wood but we haven't yet found a wood-burning air conditioner for summertime.

By the way, what are rates like where you are? Our rate with our rural electric co-op is slightly less than eight cents per KWH before all the taxes and franchise fees etc are added in - a little less than ten cents per KWH including them.
