Go to the Hydro One site and sign in with your meter number and billing info. You can follow power consumption down to the hour. No need to keep running out to the meter.
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Our year round average is 1368KWH per month. Winter time we have a few heat trace lines plugged in in the barn and on some water lines, nothing too significant. Only other things that use electric are the furnace, which is gas so it's just the blower and vent motor, occasionally I will use an electric heater in the garage but I really try not to as it is a real hog on electricity (220V construction heater). The majority of our "high use" appliances are all natural gas. Except for the A/C which doesn't seem to make a huge difference.
So if we avg. 1368 per month which is 16416 a year...........315KWH a week, 4510 watts a day or 188 watts per hour.......that does not sound like a whole lot. Less than 2 100 watt light bulbs per hour. I don't see how I could improve much on that.
