How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?

I’m proud to say my monthly kilowatt usage is approximately 400 kWh and rises to 450 or so in the summer with air conditioning. Each night use about 4 kwh for my audio gear which includes 30 tubes mostly in amplifiers. Yes this is the worst of my sins using a tube amplifier.

Curious if you know how much you use and if so how much is it?

I’m a big proponent of conserving electricity to help out the planet.

Using electricity isn't a sin.

Large two-story in hot desert climate plus big pool --> 2,266 KWH last month (1759 KWH off-peak + 507 on-peak)

That's a lot of electricity. I would guess a lot of it relates to the pool.

I saw your audio space and my gosh there's a lot going on here. And I bet it's really really quiet in the desert to appreciate everything.

I see you also like cats.  

So I'm gonna spend some time carefully reviewing all that you've done with your system and looking forward to learning a lot. 

Thanks for sharing

Come on soul, you’re not “hurting the planet” using electricity, and please don’t call it a sin. If it’s keeping you up at night get solar panels for your home.
