What is the monthly electric cost for:
Refrig
TV
Interior lights
Exterior lights
Garage door openers
Wine cooler refrig
WiFi
Ceiling fans
Microwave

Yes, usage determines cost. Yes, specific models determine cost..............but just wondering if someone has gone thru and looked at EnergyGuide labels or other sources.

For what it's worth, we had a new HVAC installed last year before we were in dire straits.

It was winding down on its lifespan, so we wanted it in before the urgency and changes.
So glad we did it, as houses all around us were down and out during the hottest days.

Anyway, with the new system-we had a SMART thermostat installed and easily programmed and directly linked to SECO.

Honeywell/SECO both send a total report every month via email., the likes of which you asked about above.

It's quite impressive, + we can see the Ultra IMPORTANT humidity levels in the home when we're traveling and adjust it accordingly, just by accessing our thermostat remotely.

My husband loves these reports and tells me the oven isn't being used enough!

Hope this helps.
