I note that Win has failed to report in on his HEATING costs...
I suspect his heating + electricity costs may rival mine.
That's for your home ?
Just how do you manage to get through so much energy ? Do you have an
idea of how it breaks down by usage ?

... my heat + electricity was under half the cost of
your electricity alone. I'm not impressed by insulation
problems with 115F hot and 75 inside, because it's analogous
to 28F cold with 68 inside. Either way the house insulation
has to withstand a 40F difference. My house has a similar
area to yours, but it's on 3 floors (including full basement),
which greatly cuts down on insulation losses. Stretched-out
single-floor homes don't make good thermal sense to me, but I
also wonder if homes aren't just better insulated here in NE.
1.5 hp swimming pool pump... 12 hours per day
Crickey!! Your swimming pool pump consumes more than the average household
in the Netherlands (2500-4000kWh/year). On top of that, we use around
2000-3000m3 of gas for heating.
65,618kWh....sheesh....

hinges so that doors stay closed. Plus all six of my grandchildren are
good swimmers... YET we watch them like hawks.
(2) What is the total contained volume? (Not as significant, but I
suspect I can contain 4X of your house inside mine.

I currently live in the central valley (of CA of USA) (north of halfway)
which is a pretty mild climate. Have previously lived LA, SD, and SJ of
same state. What part do you live in?

May I nit-pick, from the land of "Crikey!", and assist your spelling - which is
extremely good for what I presume is your second (or later) language ;-)
Hello Joseph,
East of Sacramento, in the foothills. We did have some frost at night
lately but not much. The downside for those w/o wood heat is that you are
at the mercy of a monopoly when you heat electrically or via heat pump, or
at the mercy of propane suppliers when using gas. Whenever I inquired
about propane pricing the cost per gallon was miraculously the same for
all the supplier I called. So we had to break out of that strange hold,
and we did.
Wood heating comes with a lot of hard work. But hey, on the bright side
this means that we do not need any gym membership.
Also from the lang of Crikey, my home (2 of us) uses about 400kWhr per
year.
fridge.
some lights.
tv
microwave oven
2 x laptop computers
ADSL modem
radio, cd players.
Everything's turned off when it's not needed.
I walk to work, so don't waste any energy there either.
Farting is probably my major contribution to greenhouse gases.
