What is the average wattage and peak wattage for a residential home with 200a service box?

I have seen mine as high as 15,000 watts but the average is around 2,000w

In my area the monthly usage is around 1400kwh per month

47kwh per day or 1958w per hour.

Winter peaks at about 12 kWh to 14 kWh per hr based on a 24 hr looking glass...
Summer about 1 kWh per hr.
 
Don’t use much relative to the winter...$1200.00 per month
Summer maybe $100.00 per month
 
About .13

Electric baseboard heat is what does it...
And a 600 ft deep well doesn’t really help.

Wow.
Yeah, baseboard are quiet, and comfortable with no breeze, but WOW do they hit the bank account in winter.

if you feel like it, I might be able to offer some ways to lower that bill substantially with draft insulation ideas or heat pump choices.
1200 monthly buys a LOT of mini split systems...
