Really? Of course I know what I’m using. Just trying to compare.

How many do I use? Or the wife and kids, none of which has any idea that a light switch can turn off a light? Or thinks to close a window when cranking up the AC to 70 degrees or less. Or leaves TVs on or ceiling fans on, even if they've left for the day.

Won't know until my next utility bill comes since I toss them once they are paid.

However, I would think a pretty good bit since my house is close to 100 years old, has 10 1/2 ft. high ceilings, tons of wooden double hung single pane windows and no wall insulation.

Way too many especially with pool pump running constantly. I'll check my current bill but I know I average $400/mo.

pool pump running constantly? hope you have variable speed. Your "trouble free pool" sounds like a real pain if not.

no I have a simple dumb pump with an intermatic ca3750 zwave smart switch.

I used to have it on a schedule to run off and on at 2 hour intervals but this summer was so hot and my cya levels were so low I kept it running constantly to keep the algae at bay.

Eta I have a billion trees overhanging my pool. Nothing trouble free about having to empty the strainer almost every day and use the net. Been cutting them back but they've massive and pool is as the bottom of a hill so I'll never be free from crap falling in my pool constantly.

Do like my brother-in-law finally did. He put a screened in cover over the pool area that fully closes it off to yard debris.

I think you meant to ask how many kWh, not kW.

My house uses about 10kWh/day. The family typically adds another 3-5kWh/day to that.

I don't know kw but it's about $5 a day for 2600 sqft with my new Carrier units, when temps are in 90's. Was about $14/day with my old units.
