550-650kw during the Winter and 600-900kw during the summer when the AC is running. I have a 2 story home. Electricity in the Northeast is VERY expensive.
How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?
I’m proud to say my monthly kilowatt usage is approximately 400 kWh and rises to 450 or so in the summer with air conditioning. Each night use about 4 kwh for my audio gear which includes 30 tubes mostly in amplifiers. Yes this is the worst of my sins using a tube amplifier.
Curious if you know how much you use and if so how much is it?
I’m a big proponent of conserving electricity to help out the planet.

@emergingsoul blue states are always more pricey. I figured I either need to "run for office" or become homeless, because being working taxpayer in blue states is definitely the worst. |
@czarivey Not to sideline or make this political, but that’s not completely true. Less populated “blue” states (think Colorado, New Hampshire, etc.) have income tax rates that are comparable to “red” states. Higher tax rates are generally more highly correlated to population than to political leanings although there are a few exceptions. Interestingly, four of the five states with the highest sales tax rates are deep red states — for example, Tennessee’s sales tax at 9.55% is 45% higher than New Jersey at 6.6%. Anyway, not all blue states are more pricey is the point here. |
Go for income tax. Sales tax isn’t that of a big deal. Blue states are really cost prohibitive there. To NJ also add some draconic tolls on the roads you’re riding and highest property taxes that are also cost prohibitive + draconic insurance rates it all goes to the "office" deep pockets with lil-to nothing remaining for others. TN is still a lot cheaper than any of blue states overall you pick. So all blue states are a lot pricier than any of red states factually. Math is more important than politics. |
