If you are all electric, I believe the big users are AC, water heater, and clothes dryer. Depending on whether you leave lights on, CFLs or LED bulbs could have a positive impact. A large screen TV could burn 200 watts or more so if you leave it on all day it can add up.

It is my understand ing that the ranking of units that are costly begins with the A/C then refrigerators then DVR boxes.

One poster stated full time status with only a $98 per month bill. I would like more detail so that i can figure out how to reduce my bill
