We live on the Williamson County side of Spring Hill, so we’re in the Mid TN Electric service area. Please see my post about service areas: Spring Hill Electric Power Providers.
We have a HVAC package unit that uses gas to heat and electricity to cool. As you can see from the numbers below, cooling our home in the summer is our biggest electricity cost. Our home is about 1,300 square feet, 1 story.
We have a gas stove. We don’t have any kids yet, so we have some rooms where the lights are off all the time. On the other hand, we’re only ok about turning lights off, and I leave my computer on all the time. Hopefully, this will give you a basis for comparison.
