Possibly John meant to say "4Kwh", which actually would a be a bit on
the high side for the *average* home in the US.

Last month we used 92 KWh/day, which is 3.8KW. The ground source heat
pump is how we heat the house and it was a fairly cool month. We also
have a separate heat pump for hot water (tying it to the main system
was absurdly expensive) and an induction stove which can use up to
10KW.

During the summer we use a lot less power. On the other hand, our
bills for gas, propane, and fuel oil are zero.

FWIW we pay about 12c/kwh which is fairly low for the U.S., with a
complicated remote net metering discount in which we pretend that part
of a solar farm in a nearby town is on our roof.
