The usage may drop, or not as there is no natural gas here, just propane which is higher than gas, and the highest in the nation. Basically 2 people at home doing nothing other than cooking, cleaning, watching tv or the pc, rarely a fan and no a/c is over $100.00 a month. My house is all electric and I'm a bit of a pc nut, my bill was running $300.00 a month. Then I decided to put in an above ground pool so,I can swim again. I have a back injury that precludes me from entering the ocean. Just the filter pump running only 2 hours a day jumped me to over $400.00 month. That's when I went leasing solar and no longer wonder what my electric bill will be for the next 19.5years as it will never vary and it's much lower than it was. But as with all YMMV.
