>> As a matter of interest, what are peoples' average consumption >> figures? >> Mine over the Summer was 850 kWh per month. > Around 500 kWh/month, for 2 adults and 2 ... hm... make that 4+ > adults :) About 16,000 kWh pa = 1250 kWh / month Daily for 2 month breaks starting at July last year are 44 40 38 38 41 58 66 kWh / day That's with 4 adults at end and 3 at start of period. All electric house & my stuff. Energy saving bulbs throughout - but lots of lights always on. 4 PC's minimum typically on. Current 66 kWh/day = 2.75 kW AVERAGE. Too high. Summer will reduce that. Magic solar heating more so :-) Russell -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
