Compared to 2019, electric in 2020 has been used significantly more. Especially in July/August/September when it has been so hot. At least in winter the heat has been used less because with electronics on and with me and my wife here all the time, we keep the place warm.

We used ~7200 kWh (~600kWh/m) this year. Considering the average US usage is like ~914 kWh/m and PA is ~864 kWh/m at least we used less than both of those!

But probably should consider as well that our stove/oven and heating is natural gas.
