Thanks folks for all the great info. reported...
To DisckR & others.....
My furnace runs on propane, however, I believe the furnace also uses 'electric' to kick it on and off ! Same applies to my gas hot water heater.
My furnace seems to run for long periods of time, thermostats are set to 65 degrees on both first & second floors of house. FYI, furnace was just tuned-up, back in Aug.
I have been running a de-humidifier in the man-cave cellar which is completely 'finished' and insulated. That may be causing some electric drain ? I also have a well pump for water, which I didn't have in other house in MA.
I called Eversource to review my bill, and they said my kwh usage was in the 'norm'. Again, I just moved into the house June 1, so have nothing to compare against for last year same time. Eversource did tell me the prior owners (2 adults & 2 kids), used 1700 kwh last Nov-Dec.
I checked my electric bill in Mass last Nov/Dec and used about 580 kwh. House was 2000 sf, Oil furnace, HW baseboard, with hot water off the furnace.
Will continue to monitor usage......
