To add another Data point.
From a bill in hand. Month's electric bill $85.29 ,daily use 11KWH, Daily cost $2.84
Hot water and cook stove are propane, all the other usual appliances including two window AC units which we only needed to run two days that month. Refrigerator is at least twenty years old but I will keep it as long as it runs. After the fridge I think the Cloths dryer and computer are the biggest drain with the possible exception of a wife that can't seem to ever turn off a light as she leaves the room.
That is perhaps a little pricey as it comes 100% from renewable sources but when it goes out in a storm running the backup generator for just lights and computer/TV costs $15 per day in gasoline alone.
